DUNE BOOK CLUB :: Week 2.5

above, by Paul Pope
Paul Pope sent me this amazing page he did just as a study, based on the Lady Jessica’s discovery of the hidden conservatory in the castle. I placed it with the other images in my Week 2 post, but goodness gracious I was worried no one would see it midweek like this, so I decided to give it its own post. I mean, jeez, right? Paul is maybe–MAYBE–the only person I know who can go toe-to-toe with me talking Dune, although I will say the participants in our discussion are ripping it up pretty good.
Speaking of which, if this is the first time you’ve heard of the Dune Book Club, here’s Week One and Week Two. Feel free to dive into the discussion or just watch from the wings.
FOR NEXT WEEK: Read up to the end of the chapter with the long dinner party description. It ends, “No person who’ll be sleeping far below ground level tonight as a precaution against lasguns has the right to boast.” Somewhere around page 150 or so, depending on your edition. Also: I love this chapter, it is chock full of good stuff, lots of interplay/info/exposition without being boring. This is the point where the book starts to really fire up for me, and the NEXT chapter is where it EXPLODES!!

WELL! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?!?!
DUSTIN, you are the guy whose bookclub people throw jealous looks at – for all the right reasons I might add. Another thing off the list, eh? :)
This page is wonderful, the drawing is sooo grand, I also like the flow of the zoom and how it reads all by itself! The way I can zoom into the lock… and then the door… and then the garden… and lady Jessica’s impressions. The vegetation is really outta there, those sprinkles are so there…
PS: Women in deserts always somehow bring up Mr. Pope’s and Mr. Smith’s “Pan Fried Girl” – my I loved that one!

Wow. So very great. Let’s knock over a bank or something and use the money to pay Paul Pope to adapt the whole thing.

HOLY CANOLIES!!! This is awesome! Good call on the midweek post I totally wouldn’t have caught it! and YES! this week’s reading has been great! Things are really starting to come together!
I feel like listening to SHAI-HULUD just to get immersed! nothing like brutal hardcore named for sandworms!
