About the Book
The first book in the definitive graphic novel adaptation of Dune, the groundbreaking science-fiction classic by Frank Herbert.
A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism, and politics, Dune is a powerful, fantastical tale that takes an unprecedented look into our universe, and is transformed by the graphic novel format.
Frank Herbert’s epic science-fiction masterpiece set in the far future amidst a sprawling feudal interstellar society, Dune tells the story of Paul Atreides as he and his family accept control of the desert planet Arrakis.
In the first volume of a three-book trilogy encompassing the original novel, New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson’s adaptation retains the story’s integrity, and Raúl Allén and Patricia Martín’s magnificent illustrations, along with cover art by award winner Bill Sienkiewicz, bring the book to life for a new generation of readers.
“A much-needed addition to the series started by Frank Herbert decades ago.” —The Nerd Daily

Frank Herbert (1920–86) was the author of Dune and its five sequels, as well as numerous other highly praised novels.

Editorial Reviews
“It excels in broad action shots, such as the first spotting of a massive sandworm maw. This efficient take will whet appetites for more adventures to come.” —Publishers Weekly
“Boasting eye-popping art from Raúl Allén and Patricia Martin… Dune: The Graphic Novel is a scene-by-scene adaptation of the beloved novel from two writers who are already very familiar with the worlds of Arrakis and beyond.” —The Hollywood Reporter
“It’s Dune, but easier on the eyes…That means you can indulge a bit here, taking time to remind yourself of what makes the original source material so good…” —Polygon
“The palette practically makes Arrakis‘ blazing heat and desolation jump off the page…This art is gorgeous.” —Nerdist
"An adaptation worthy of continuing the franchise's legacy for a new generation.” —Comic Book Resources
