BOOM! Studios has announced a new four-issue comic book adaptation of the second official prequel to Dune. Dunes: Harkonnen House is adapted from Brian Herbert And Kevin J. Anderson with artist Michael Shelfercolorist Patricio Delfecheand letter Ed Dukeshire. Learn about the early years of iconic figures Gurney Halleck, Lady Jessica and Liet Kynes and how their future was shaped by the complex and brutal machinations of House Harkonnen. I love that Herbert can continue his father’s legacy and help bring Dune to a new audience with these comedic adaptations. Here’s what he has to say about the project:
Speaking on behalf of the Frank Herbert family, I am extremely pleased to be able to provide beautifully illustrated comic editions of DUNE: HOUSE HARKONNEN for Dune fans. This is the second novel I have written with Kevin, and the launch of the new series reminds me of the excitement of our national book tours at the turn of the millennium and the wonderful receptions we received from fans. Our enthusiasm for Frank Herbert’s fantastic Dune series has never waned and our spirit is constantly buoyed by the incredible support we continue to receive from readers. We hope you enjoy the new series as much as we enjoyed writing the stories.
Issue one will contain the cover of Raymond Swanland with lids variants of Reiko Murakami, Stefania HansAnd Jeremy Bastian. Hard copies will be available in January 2023 at local comic shops and BOOM! Studios webstore and digitally from comiXology, iBooks, Google Play and Kindle.
