have you seen the illustrated screenplay for Jodo's Dune? It goes hard but it is nowhere near as edgy or risque as any of Ralph Bakshi movies from that era. It would've been way easier to pull off an animated version and given how successful Heavy Metal movie was just a couple of years later - it would've had quite a fighting chance at box office. Alas, it wasn't to be - but we got one of the best comic books ever out of it so it is hard to complain.
Oh, Jodorowsky.
