Dune Messiah Book 1

The first volume of Abrams ComicArts’ faithful graphic-novel adaptations of Dune Messiah, part of the groundbreaking science-fiction series by Frank Herbert—timed to the release of the movie

In this epic second act of Frank Herbert’s classic Dune saga, the story of Paul Atreides—better known, and feared, as Muad’Dib—continues. As emperor of the known universe, he wields more power than any one man was meant to hold. Worshipped as a religious icon by the fanatical Fremen, Atreides faces the enmity of the political houses he displaced upon assuming the throne—and a conspiracy unfolding within his own sphere of influence. And even as House Atreides begins to crumble under the machinations of his enemies, the true threat to Paul comes to his lover, Chani, and the unborn heir to his family’s dynasty . . . 

This fourth volume of Abrams ComicArts’ faithful adaptations by Brian Herbert, son of Frank Herbert, and New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson follows Atreides’s prophetic journey and ascent to power. Illustrated by Michael Shelfer, this spectacular blend of adventure and spirituality, environmentalism, and politics is a groundbreaking look into our universe and is transformed by the graphic novel format into a powerful, fantastical tale for a new generation of readers. Like Dune: The Graphic Novel Books 1-3, Dune Messiah again features a spectacular painted cover by artist Bill Sienkiewicz.
