A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune. An Oral History

On September 19, 2023, 1984 Publishing will release A Masterpiece In Disarray: David Lynch’s Dune – An Oral History, a defining 560-page hardcover book weaving together the behind-the-scenes events from all production phases of David Lynch’s Dune, including the film’s immediate aftermath and its controversial legacy almost 40 years later.

Following his underground hit Eraserhead and critically acclaimed The Elephant Man, visionary filmmaker David Lynch set his sights on bringing Frank Herbert’s beloved sci-fi novel Dune to the screen. The project had already vexed directors such as Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo) and Ridley Scott (Alien). But by the early ‘80s Lynch was given the keys to the kingdom – and one of the highest film budgets at the time – so that he could lend his surrealistic chops to this sprawling story of feuding space dynasties. They would also hopefully be creating a “Star Wars for adults” franchise-starter.

In the same spirit as the Star Wars: Visions animated anthology series, this new line of one-shots give artists from around the world the chance to infuse Star Wars storytelling with their unique cultures and backgrounds. Announced earlier today on StarWars.com, Marvel superstar Peach Momoko will lead the way with the first of these one-shots, STAR WARS: VISIONS - PEACH MOMOKO #1.

Momoko previously blended classic Marvel Comics characters' storylines with Japanese folklore in breathtaking fashion in her acclaimed Demon Days saga. And earlier this year, readers got a haunting look at Momoko’s interpretation of the ways of the Sith in Star Wars: Darth Vader - Black, White & Red #1. Now see Momoko’s imagination fully unleashed with a twisted tale about embracing the power of the dark side! The story will introduce a whole new cast of characters that fans can check out now in Momoko’s original design sheets!
