This may not be the perfect newsgroup in which to put this request,
but I could find no other. I would like to know if anyone knows where I can
get some sort of collection of the works of H.R. Giger (I'm pretty sure that's
the correct spelling). He's the artist who did the illustrations for the movie
'Alien' and the album cover of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery.
He has also done some illustrations for the new movie 'Dune'. I like his work
very much, but have not been able to find it anywhere in collection form. I
seem to remember several years ago seeing such a book somewhere, but I have
no recollection at all of where that was. Thanks in advance.

His original collection 'Necronomicon' is now out of print. Copies on the collectors market now go for upwards of $100. His work for 'Dune' was done for Alexandro Jodorowski quite a few years ago when Jodorowski was going to do it. I hear David Lynch decided not to use him for the upcoming version (they're both painters, and each have their own unique style) He has produced a book of his work on 'Dune' for Jodorowski, but it too, may be out of print by now. Other examples of his work exist in various forms, he's been in Penthouse, Heavy Metal, and I think, OMNI. His Alien was made into a 1 foot tall 'action figure' by Kenner, but I think this too is no longer available. One new item that just came out: a 3-D tee shirt with Alien Jr. bursting out of the chest. It's put out by a company that produces some very gross 3-D tee shirts, (hatchets stuck in them, guts hanging out, etc.) and they're brand new products.
