A spectacular gift-ready deluxe collector’s edition of the first book in the definitive graphic novel adaptation of Dune, the groundbreaking science-fiction classic by Frank Herbert.
A national bestseller, Dune: The Graphic Novel, is now available in a deluxe collector’s edition with an increased trim size of 7 1/2" x 11 1/4", printed on high-quality matte art paper in a slipcase with gold foil stamping tip-on cover.
Dune, Frank Herbert’s epic science-fiction masterpiece set in the far future amidst a sprawling feudal interstellar society, tells the story of Paul Atreides as he and his family accept control of the desert planet Arrakis. 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.
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 integrity of the original novel, 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.

Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Arrival, Eric Heisserer“Raúl Allén and Patricia Martín take a dense story and apply all that nuance and subtext to their visual language in adapting Dune. Panels establish scope and geography, and showcase the character who has the power in a scene, all the while guiding you as if you were on a theme park ride through the wild sci-fi action of warring families and giant sand worms. These two have pulled off a rare feat and made a political tale visually compelling."
