The Spice Must Flow! Welcome to the Kirby's Kids Super Special DUNE The Graphic Novel, Book 2. Angus reviews Book 2 MUAD'DIB, this latest installment in the definitive graphic novel adaptation of Dune from the groundbreaking science-fiction classic by Frank Herbert. This is all in anticipation of the March 1st release of Denis Villeneuve's DUNE: Part Two.

DUNE: The Graphic Novel, Book 2: Muad’Dib

https://www.amazon.com/DUNE-Graphic-Novel-Book-MuadDib-ebook/dp/B09N7QZG6C/

In DUNE: The Graphic Novel, Book 2: Muad'Dib, the second of three volumes adapting Frank Herbert's Dune, young Paul Atreides and his mother, the lady Jessica, find themselves stranded in the deep desert of Arrakis. Betrayed by one of their own and destroyed by their greatest enemy, Paul and Jessica must find the mysterious Fremen, or perish.

This faithful adaptation of the 1965 novel, Dune, by Brian Herbert, son of Frank Herbert, and the New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson, continues to explore Paul's journey as he evolves from boy to mysterious messiah. Illustrated by Raúl Allén and Patricia Martín, this spectacular blend of adventure and spirituality, environmentalism, and politics is a groundbreaking look into our universe and transformed by the graphic novel format into a powerful, fantastical tale for a new generation of readers.
