Dune: House Atreides - Collected Comic Book Covers

Dune: House Atreides - Comic Book Covers

In Oct 2020 BOOM! Studios began publication of a comic book adaptation of Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's House Atreides (1999) novel, the first of many insults from the duo towards Frank Herbert's successful DUNE universe. I read the House Atreides novel when it was first published; it was shit. I read the first few issues of the comic, regardless, not expecting much from the story; they were shit, too. But I like some of the cover art, so I've gathered it below:

MotU: Golden Books: Super Adventure Book
Soft Cover Editions (1983-86)
Author(s): Various | Illustrator(s): various | Page Count: ???


Most of what I know about the Masters of the Universe: Golden Books publications was learned from a Vaults of Grayskull page, which is also where the majority of the images used in this post were obtained, so all credit to the folks there for what's presented here. If seeing the covers collected on a blog is of interest to you, too, then proceed below the cut:

DUNE: UK First Edition HC Recreation

DUNE: Gollancz UK First Edition HC Recreation
Related to the Dune Saga posts on The 7th and Last.

I love books, but I don't collect or attribute any special value to signed or First Editions. For me, the true value of a book is its content. If the content is good, then the book is good, regardless of its edition. But if I can get it in HC with art that I personally like, then I'm extra happy.

Frank Herbert's first DUNE novel is one of my favourite science-fiction books and I enjoy seeing how artists interpret the themes and settings of the story - so much so that the first post I ever made on The 7th Side was a collection of cover art for it. I wanted to include the Victor Gollancz First Edition, UK (1966) because I like the simplicity of it, but I was unable to find a good enough image. I later figured that the best way to get it featured was to respectfully recreate it, so I did. Sadly, I don't know the original artist's name(s) to credit him/her/them.

The Unwritten: Collected Covers (2010-15)

The Unwritten: Collected Covers (2010-15)
Related to the The Unwritten posts on The 7th and Last.


The Unwritten was a comic book series created by British author Mike Carey and American artist Peter Gross. It ran for 71 issues in total, with an additional standalone comic book prequel titled Tommy Taylor and the Ship That Sank Twice (2013). I've featured all of its TPB editions on the main blog, with each edition's respective cover arts closing the posts, but I like the idea of having them all together in one place. All 72 works are by Japanese illustrator Yuko Shimizu.
