DUNE: The Graphic Novel Book 1

Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 1

“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
