DUNE: The Graphic Novel, Book 1: Deluxe Collector's Edition (Signed Limited Edition) (Volume 1) Hardcover – November 23, 2021
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. 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 Bill Sienkiewicz, bring the book to life for a new generation of readers.

Yes, I have a lot of books, and if this is your first visit to my amazon author page, it can be a little overwhelming. If you are new to my work, let me recommend a few titles as good places to start. My major new fantasy trilogy (all finished!) consists of SPINE OF THE DRAGON, VENGEWAR and GODS AND DRAGONS. My newest Dune novel with Brian Herbert is THE HEIR OF CALADAN, end of a new trilogy. I also love my Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series—newest one is DOUBLE-BOOKED— humorous horror/mysteries, which begin with DEATH WARMED OVER. My steampunk fantasy adventures, CLOCKWORK ANGELS, CLOCKWORK LIVES, and CLOCKWORK DESTINY, written with Neil Peart, legendary drummer from Rush, are some of my very favorite novels ever. And my magnum opus, the science fiction epic The Saga of Seven Suns, begins with HIDDEN EMPIRE. After you've tried those, I hope you'll check out some of my other series.
I have written more than 175 books, including 59 national or international bestsellers. I have over 24 million books in print worldwide in thirty languages. I've been nominated for the Nebula Award, Hugo Award, Bram Stoker Award, Shamus Award, and Silver Falchion Award, and I've won the SFX Readers' Choice Award, Golden Duck Award, Scribe Award, and New York Times Notable Book; in 2012 at San Diego Comic Con I received the Faust Grand Master Award for Lifetime Achievement.
I have written numerous bestselling and critically acclaimed novels in the Dune universe with Brian Herbert, as well as Star Wars and X-Files novels. In my original work, I am best known for my Saga of Seven Suns series, the Terra Incognita trilogy, the Dan Shamble, Zombie PI series, and Clockwork Angels and Clockwork Lives with Neil Peart. Along with my wife Rebecca Moesta, I am also the publisher of WordFire Press. Find out more about me at wordfire.com, where you can sign up for my newsletter and get some free fiction.

CW: moderate violence, spiritualism
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.

I haven't read the books so cant discuses how close it follows the plot, but as a comic story its great and easy to follow, with great graphic. I would highly recommend give it a try.

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!
