John Schoenherr. A Dune messiah
Among the books he illustrated are The Wolfling and Rascal by Sterling North (the latter of which received a Newbery Honor) and The Illustrated Dune by Frank Herbert.
This last grew out of his work for Analog magazine, especially under John W. Campbell, Jr. and Ben Bova. He illustrated the original magazine serializations of Dune for them, as well as the covers for Anne McCaffrey’s “Weyr Search” and “Dragonrider,” which were later revised into the novel Dragonflight. His July 1975 Cover for Analog has been cited as influential in the designs for the Star Wars character Chewbacca.
