If you’re a fan of Denis Villeneuve’s cinematic adaptations of Dune, good news awaits: an exciting series of graphic novels continues to explore the rich history of Arrakis, leading up to the iconic Dune saga. Adapted from the Prelude to Dune trilogy by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, this graphic novel series by Boom Studios began in 2021 and is set to conclude soon with the highly anticipated final story arc focused on House Corrino. Preorders for Dune: House Corrino Volume 1 are currently available, with an official release date of December 3.
For those looking to catch up before the release, significant discounts are available for the preceding volumes of the Prelude to Dune trilogy. There’s also a chance to save on the official graphic novel adaptation of Frank Herbert’s groundbreaking original novel.
Dune: House Corrino Volume 1 collects the first four issues of the House Corrino arc into a 112-page hardcover edition. Volume 2 will complete the series with four more issues, although release details for that installment have yet to be confirmed. The narrative will delve into the influential role House Corrino played in shaping the universe’s fate.
The Prelude to Dune graphic novel trilogy begins with House Atreides, followed by House Harkonnen, each split into three volumes. House Corrino stands as the shortest arc, consisting of just two volumes. This graphic novel series acts as a direct lead-in to Frank Herbert’s original Dune novel, offering deeper insights into the significant houses featured in the films.
For those new to Prelude to Dune, it might be beneficial to first explore the original novels. House Atreides and House Harkonnen each exceed 750 pages, while House Corrino is just under 700 pages.
In addition to the Prelude series, a three-part graphic novel adaptation of the original Dune novel is available. The first two titles are currently included in a promotional offer, allowing readers to acquire two graphic novels for just $23, while those interested in the complete set can obtain all three for $38—almost 50% off the standard price.
Dune enthusiasts should also take note of the special hardcover editions of Frank Herbert’s original trilogy available from a boutique publisher. These limited-edition versions of Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune are stunning but come at a premium price of $380. Alternatively, the Dune Saga 3-Book Deluxe Box Set is offered at $80, including beautifully designed hardcovers with vibrant cover art, making it an attractive and cost-effective option.
With a variety of formats available for readers and great deals to be found, now is an excellent time to dive into the captivating world of Dune.
