My intro to Arrakis was actually the Lynch film—it was a family favorite when I was growing up, so I would have been pretty young when I first saw it. Dune seems to me unique among SF novels in the depth of characterisation and the extraordinary detail of the world it creates.Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Frank Herbert’s epic Dune saga tells the story of the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the “spice” melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness.

His current project is a reconsideration of popular fiction during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. After attending the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Sam moved to New York to pursue illustration and attend graduate school at The School of Visual Arts. Humanity has resorted to a delicately balanced feudal system of governance, each aristocratic family struggling for survival, competing for control of a decadent empire.

To become a hero, let alone a messiah, is to cut oneself off from all others; to watch friends sink into worshipers; to loose forces that may be impossible to control; ultimately, after sowing the wind, to reap the whirlwind. The meticulously constructed characters and ecology of Dune have become enshrined in science-fiction folklore, from the grotesque, bloated mass of the evil Baron Harkonnen to the towering sandworms, breaching the mountainous dunes.With commercial and critical success of 2021’s movie adaptation of Dune, recipient of six Oscar Awards, its visuals are ingrained on many people’s minds. I guess it’s impossible not to have other interpretations floating in your head, whether from old masters like John Schoenherr or Bruce Pennington or contemporary Dune artists like Marc Simonetti.
