Media Release -- BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at DUNE: THE WATERS OF KANLY #4, the final issue of a four-issue comic book series expanding the rich mythology of Frank Herbert's Dune, adapted & scripted by New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, illustrated by artist Francesco Mortarino (Power Rangers), colored by Raúl Angulo (Go Go Power Rangers), and lettered by Ed Dukeshire (Once & Future), in partnership with Herbert Properties LLC and in full coordination with Abrams ComicArts, who published the first of a trilogy of graphic novel adaptations of Herbert's original classic novel DUNE in Fall 2020.
In the astonishing finale, Gurney and the smugglers have eluded the Harkonnen forces and retreated to Arrakis, but they come back empty-handed and defeated. However, Gurney's secret plan is finally set in motion. Will he finally have his revenge against the Beast? Or will his sacrifices be for nothing?
Created by visionary writer Frank Herbert, Dune debuted in 1965, has sold millions of copies and is arguably the most admired science fiction novel of all time. After winning the Hugo Award and inaugural Nebula Award, Dune inspired a best-selling novel series and led to multiple live-action adaptations, including the upcoming feature film from Legendary Pictures. The influence of Dune extends well beyond the world of entertainment, with an incalculable influence on modern scientific thinking about politics, religion, outer space, environmentalism, and more.
DUNE: THE WATERS OF KANLY #4 features main and variant cover art by famed illustrator Christian Ward (Something is Killing the Children) and variant covers by artists Junggeun Yoon (Magic) and Francesco Mortarino (Power Rangers).
