THE FIRST APPEARANCE IN PRINT OF FRANK HERBERT’S EPIC DUNE - THE PERSONAL COPY OF RON MILLER, PRODUCTION ILLUSTRATOR FOR DAVID LYNCH'S 1984 FILM DUNE
One of the best-selling science fiction novels of all time, Frank Herbert’s Dune first appeared in serialized form in Analog Magazine.
“Dune World,” a three-part hero’s journey set against a post-technology, dystopian feudal society, introduced Herbert’s Dune universe to the world. The next year, Herbert published the next three-parts in Analog under the title “Prophet of Dune” and soon after landed a deal with Chilton Books—a publisher typically known for printing auto manuals—to combine “Dune World” and “Prophet of Dune” into the novel that would go win both Hugo Award for Best Novel and the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1966.
Frank Herbert’s Dune permanently altered the landscape of science fiction literature, and has served as the source material for both David Lynch’s 1984 sprawling adaptation and Denis Villeneuve’s ongoing series starring Timothee Chalamet as Paul Atreides.
