“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
“A breathtaking new comic book adaptation.”―SPACE.com
“The core of what made Dune a great science fiction novel has been preserved, and to it are added vibrant visuals in Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 1—a resoundingly successful adaptation.”
―Foreword STARRED Review
“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."
―Eric Heisserer, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Arrival“Intricate . . . well defined . . . easy to follow . . . blending the aristocratic costumery, sci-fi technology, and desert landscape into a world that is unmistakably Dune.”―Booklist
“A much-needed addition to the series started by Frank Herbert decades ago.”―The Nerd Daily
“The carefully chosen color palettes are particularly compelling, conveying the perfect sense of mood in every situation…a good gateway into the world of Dune.”―Boing Boing

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book for a Dune fan!
Bought this book for my husband who loves the Dune series. Absolutely love the art!
5.0 out of 5 stars New to Graphic Novels - What a great first choice!
Consumed the Dune series as a teen and this is my first revisit to Arrakis; thoroughly enjoyed it.So little time to sit down and read anymore, this graphic novel was a great way to re-aquiant myself with Arrakis without taking months to re-read the books - that was my original intent. But as I flipped through the supurbly illustrated cells, I quickly came to appreciate the beauty of Graphic Novels. The moments captured in the cells were expertly chosen, conveying the important parts of the story in a cohesive and flowing way; I have no idea how they were able to chose the right scenes from such a packed novel as Dune and tell the story so well.I will be getting the next in the series.Well done! To those involved in the making of this graphic novel, and thank you for putting me on to a new genre. I'll be exploring many more.
5.0 out of 5 stars Dune is badass
I love this graphic novel!! I don’t normally read them, this is my first one but I love the story!! I love the films as well!!
4.0 out of 5 stars Becoming a big fan of all things DUNE
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars The best adaptation there is about an epic space opera
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Happy
I love Dune. I actually ordered this by mistake, meaning to get the actual novel but I'm still incredibly happy with my purchase.
5.0 out of 5 stars Also a Beautiful Collector's Edition
Purchased volumes 1 & 2 simultaneously; have vol 3 on pre-order. My niece LOVED this; she is a big-time fan of Dune. If you're looking for a gift for a Dune enthusiast, look no further.
5.0 out of 5 stars Dune Graphic Novel 1 - Review
The graphic novel is visually beautiful. The book is large, perhaps more than you think. It is heavy. I thought it would be a paperback or small book, but it is much better. The package arrived in good condition and the books were not damaged, bent, or anything like that. Super happy with my purchase. If wondering about buying this book, do yourself a favor, buy it!
