“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

Wow, that's pretty boss. oO
(is it Moeby, or other artist?)

Bonus points for using five surplus BB-8's for the tyres! :P

Leto: Never! But I can use their heads to cruise around like a boss!

Looking at the style, I´m sure that design is by Chriss Foss, who also did all those impressive starships for the project. As we know the designs for Dune were done by Foss, Giger and Giraud. However, I noticed a forth (less professional looking) style that does not really fit any of the three and I wonder who made them.

Haha, awesome. <3

NiceI I'm a big fan of 'sketch-like' art done by a master hand, and yeah, I like the Dog-Beings, an expression that I found here:

Also, I thought I'd found something insightful below (the idea that possibly they were by Jodo himself), but it appears... not?

Still, I really like that artist's work, whoever they are!

Good work, Detective Enzyme! Downplay your finding all you want, it´s in fact the best clue we have for now. I will post it here to save people who are interested a click:

No artist is credited but the naive style rules out both Moebius and HR Giger (who arrived late to the project in any case). Best bet is either Jodorowsky himself—in 1967 he was writing and illustrating a comic strip, Fabulas Panicas—or Jodorowsky’s colleague from the Panic Movement days, Roland Topor. In the early 70s Topor was working with René Laloux on the animated SF film Fantastic Planet.
