Sneak Peek at Dune Graphic Novel and House Of Atreides Comic #SDCC

In October, Abrams is releasing the first of three graphic novels that adapt the original Frank Herbert Dune novel into comic book form, to be published on November 24th – previously October 27th, though not everyone has caught up with that yet. At the Comic-Con@Home Dune publishing panel they took the opportunity to show off a little of the artwork by Raul Allen and Patricia Martin – who when they worked at Valiant for editor Charlotte Greenbaum, they told her how much they loved Dune, so when she moved to Abrams, they were a perfect choice.

We also got a sneak peek from Ross Richie at the Dune prequel House Of Atreides comic book spin-off launching in October with the Boom Studios publisher popping by the panel…

Showing off artwork by Dev Pramanik, he talked about how long it took to get the Dune comic book license. "We were actually sitting around the offices trying to recall uh how long it's been and I think the consensus was this was a deal that took ten years to make and so I think you can see how much I love Dune…"

Here's the full panel:
