Giger to begin designing the sets and costumes and to lay out the scenes according to his over-imaginative interpretation of the source work.

In a nutshell, the documentary centers around the Chilean-French filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky laying out his grand vision to make a movie out of Frank Herbert’s Dune back in 1975. It’s ninety minutes that will blow your mind. Normally I would recommend that the printed art stands on its own, but the film is the best path to appreciating the contextual importance and strange origins of this very odd tale. The skinny: To understand The Incal and its place in the creative world you really must begin by watching the incredible documentary Jodorowsky’s Dune, which premiered at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.

The comics may be old but my mind is still fresh, wrapped in plastic and sitting on the shelf, waiting to be opened. I’m on a mission to rectify my comics knowledge shortcomings and to provide a fresh take on classic stories that others have known for years.

We all have gaps in our pop culture knowledge, those omissions that elicit gasps from our fellow funnybook connoisseurs.
