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

Title: Just Desert
Review: This is well crafted novel. The art work suits the tale perfectly. It's raw and descriptive. For those who haven't read the original book. This novel gives you a condensed version of the story, with all of the important things still in tack.

Title: The best adaptation there is about an epic space opera
Review: The DUNE saga is a masterpiece of science fiction. It is a timeless bittersweet space opera that gets better each time I revisit it. And yet, adapting it is a challenge in it of itself. Each adaptation suffers from the biases, taboos, trends of its respective eras. This is not the fault of the directors or even the defenders of each live action adaptation, it is just the way things are - and moreover the hollow industry of American media is.And yet, here comes another medium which does the unthinkable. It adapts Dune masterfully, missing almost nothing which made the first book so special.If you liked the previous adaptations and enjoyed the latest film series of Dune but were left wanting more or wondering how this epic telling in the future far, far away further unravels and the roots behind prophecies, the politics, mysteries of the known universe, but don't have time for listening to the audio book or reading the book, I recommend this graphic novel series.

Title: Becoming a big fan of all things DUNE
Review: To those who found themselves drawn into the cosmic universe of DUNE, guided by the visual enchantments of the 2021 filmic translation, this critique is your guiding star. My recollections of the previous cinematic endeavors and series are but distant mirages, shapes forming and fading in the vast desert of memory.The recent film, a luminous spectacle, gripped my senses with an unrelenting intensity. Every frame, a meticulously crafted tableau, seemed capable of assuming a cherished position upon one's walls, a captured moment of grandeur and visual poetry. As a frequent voyager through the realms of graphic novels that eschew the trappings of superhuman protagonist, I felt a compelling allure towards this medium of DUNE.This novel, sketched and inked, draws its inspiration more heavily from Herbert's original literary masterpiece, although the tones that it strikes seem, perhaps, less steeped in the brooding depths of maturity. Yet, there is an elusive charm about it, a refreshing energy that manifests in every inked line and coloured panel.This graphic rendering, therefore, deserves a place in your collection, although one must warn not to anticipate the ethereal ambience of the film. It is a beast of different colors and contours, a creature born of ink and paper rather than light and shadow. It aligns itself more closely with the sand-scoured landscapes of the book, inviting you to experience DUNE in yet another richly textured iteration. Thus, venture forth and embrace this interpretation, my fellow wanderers in the desolate yet captivating universe of DUNE.

Review: while i haven't read this yet (i'm waiting for all three parts to come in & for me to finish the book), the art is clean, the line work is amazing and the texture is fantastic (feels like velvet).

Title: Excellent epic science fantasy
Review: I'm new to the Dune fandom. I started with the new movies and am obsessed, and now I'm working on the graphic novels. By comparison, I think the movie does a better job of developing the spiritualism (in the graphic novel, Paul's "awakening" comes suddenly, and a bunch of revelations are dumped in one scene). The graphic novel, however, conveys much more of the politics. A great read overall, and I'll definitely be continuing the series.CW: moderate violence, spiritualism

Review: Die Romanvorlage von Herbert ist legendär aber in der Originalsprache (Englisch) wie auf Deutsch herausfordernd zu lesen (meine subjektive Meinung). Die Story ist sehr komplex aber einfach episch.Also greift man zur Graphicnovel, gern auch in der Originalsprache. Hier gelingt die Portierung der Geschichte rund um den Wüstenplaneten mehr als hervorragend. Der Stil ist zwar recht simpel aber ungemein atmosphärisch. Ich habe alle Teile (dies ist 1 von 3) mittlerweile auch als "echte" Bücher im Regal und empfehle sie ohne zu zögern.Für alle, die nur die aktuellen Filme im Kino kennen: Die Story ist beinahe deckungsgleich mit Teil 1 im Kino. Wer dran bleibt und alle Episoden liest, kann also spoilern. Viel Spaß!
