Comics creator Paul Pope has displayed art inspired by Frank Herbert's legendary Dune series on his blog.
Fresh from his work on his 'Strange Adventures' strip in DC's Wednesday Comics, the Batman: Year 100 creator drew the one-off page inspired by his latest project.
Explaining the thinking behind the page, he said: "I wanted to try applying the lessons learned from the Wednesday Comics experience to a different subject, here finding a source which would be difficult to illustrate as a page of comics, given that there is very little suggested action.
"In a comic book, one page may be well drawn or well written, but it is still just a single facet of a larger whole. One page can be preceded or followed by another, but no one page carries the entire weight of the sustained narrative.
"The Wednesday Comics single page format forces the artist to create a story unit which may well be part of a larger storyline, however it still must be able to stand alone."
Pope expressed no plans for an extended Dune adaptation.
