A good rendering of the source material.
Format: Hardcover
I was fifteen the first time I read Frank Herbert’s classic, Dune. I was immediately swept away to his universe, and my imagination was immediately fed! Oh, what a diet of sight, sound, color, emotion, politics, warfare, and religion he fed me! The movie of this book (before there was one) unraveled in my mind, and I ingested every moment. It was such a delicious experience that I decided right then and there that I would revisit this wonderful place.
Since that moment in 1981, there have been two movies, a miniseries, a graphic novel, and various other stories, as well as Frank Herbert’s son continuing the series with science Fiction author, Kevin J. Anderson. All of which is good. Please note I said good. With the exception of the continuing series by Herbert and Anderson, the images provided have not really lived up to what my imagination conjured up so long ago (and even now, since I am giving the original a re-read.), but that is not a knock against this book.
Dune: The Graphic Novel is a lovely work of art. The art in it is simple, yet beautiful. Each page was deliciously drawn and colored and added to what my imagination conjured up. The pages are thick in this book, which made me feel like I was skipping ahead, but in reality, I wasn’t. A major plus for this book is that it brought back all of those feeling from when I first read Frank Herbert’s novel.
I am looking forward to getting my hands on volume 2. It is on several wish lists, and my wife knows what a Dune fan I am.
All in all I give this book 4.5 bookmarks out of 5!

New to Graphic Novels - What a great first choice!
Format: Kindle
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.

Dune Graphic Novel 1 - Review
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
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!

The best adaptation there is about an epic space opera
Format: Kindle
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.
