BOOM! Studios is proud to announce their new Dune comic book series: Dune: House Harkonnen #1. This will be a new sci-fi comic book series that adapts the Dune prequel novel of the same name into comic book form, which itself is a prequel spinoff of the Dune novel series by Frank Herbert. In fact, Brian Herbert (Frank Herbert’s elder son) is cowriting this comic book adaptation alongside Kevin J. Anderson, who also cowrote the Dune prequel novels. Michael Shelfer (Domino) will be the artist, with Patricio Delpeche as the colorist, and Ed Dukeshire as the letterer. Raymond Swanland (Magic: The Gathering) drew the main cover art, with Reiko Murakami (The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country), Stephanie Hans (House of Slaughter), and Jeremy Bastian (Cursed Pirate Girl) responsible for the various variant covers. Lastly, for obvious reasons, BOOM! Studios is the publisher for this comic book series.

Dune: House Harkonnen #1 will go on sale sometime in January 2023. You can purchase print copies on that date at your local comic book shop or at the BOOM! Studios webstore. Although to be fair, the latter is notoriously unreliable for carrying any stock of anything, so you might have more luck with the former. If you’re fine with the digital version though, then you can check out digital content providers like comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and Kindle on that date.
