If you're a fan of Denis Villeneuve's Dune adaptations and crave more of Arrakis, there's an ongoing graphic novel series that delves into the events leading up to the original Dune novel and film. Adapted from the Prelude to Dune trilogy by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, this series from Boom Studios began in 2021 and is set to conclude with the final story arc focusing on House Corrino. Preorders for Dune: House Corrino Volume 1 are now available on Amazon, with a release date set for December 3.
To get up to speed before the new release, Amazon is offering significant discounts on the rest of the Prelude to Dune trilogy. Additionally, you can find substantial savings on the official graphic novel adaptation of Frank Herbert's iconic novel that first introduced Dune to the world. The Prelude to Dune trilogy kicks off with House Atreides, followed by House Harkonnen, with each arc spanning three volumes. These are currently available at discounted hardcover prices on Amazon. House Corrino, the shortest of the three adaptations, will be released in two volumes.
This series seamlessly transitions into Frank Herbert's original Dune novel, making it a must-read for those eager to learn more about the major houses featured in the films. Given that it was adapted by the original authors, it's an essential addition to any Dune fan's collection. For newcomers to the Prelude to Dune, it might be beneficial to start with the original novels, which are more substantial reads, with House Atreides and House Harkonnen each surpassing 750 pages, and House Corrino nearing 700 pages.
Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson also penned a three-part graphic novel adaptation of the original Dune novel. The first two books are currently part of Amazon's B1G1 50% off promotion, allowing you to purchase two for just $23. Adding the third book to your cart brings the total to $38, nearly half off the combined list price of $75. It's worth noting that the first two books are also available in deluxe editions with slipcases and high-quality matte pages, though these are not eligible for the promotion.
For die-hard Dune fans, The Folio Society offers special hardcover editions of Frank Herbert's original Dune trilogy. These limited-edition versions are visually stunning but come with a hefty price tag of $380 for all three. Alternatively, the Dune Saga 3-Book Deluxe Box Set is available on Amazon for $80, nearly 50% off its original $150 list price. This set includes hardcover editions of Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune, each with vibrant cover art, stained edges, illustrated endpapers, a foil-stamped slipcase, and reversible dust jackets. These deluxe editions are also sold separately, with the first book eligible for Amazon's B1G1 50% off promotion.
