BOOK OVERVIEW: "The first in the epic science fiction series of the same name, "Dune" is set on the desert planet Arrakis, host to "the Spice" - the most important resource in the universe, needed for interplanetary travel and coveted for its effects on longevity and granting incredible psychic powers among humans. Amidst an intergalactic power struggle, would-be heir to the planet's stewardship Paul Atreides is cast out into the desert to die following a coup. Joining a group of zealots called the Fremen, Paul soon becomes considered their messiah - Mahdi - and recognizes in them a formidable fighting force with whom he can retake control of Arrakis. "Dune" won both the Hugo Award for Best Novel and the Nebula Award for Best Novel.

FIRST EDITION IDENTIFICATION:

""Dune" is one of the high points for science fiction collectors and was first published in 1965 by Chilton Book Company in Philadelphia (an interesting departure for the publisher, who to that date had only published automotive repair manuals). The true first will read "First Edition" on the copyright page, with no subsequent printings, and will be in blue cloth boards. The jacket is a pictorial dark red and blue desert scene, and the rear panel has a map. The price on the jacket flap should be $5.95 and the rear flap should have the Chilton address across four lines."

"I CAN ENVISION NO MORE PERFECT VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF MY DUNE WORLD THAN JOHN SCHOENHERR'S..."

PIC(S) INFO: Mega spotlight on the illustrated world of Frank Herbert's "Dune," from the pages of "Analog" science fiction magazine, c. early '60s. Artwork by John Schoenherr.

OVERVIEW: "Frank Herbert said John Schoenherr was “the only man who has ever visited Dune.” Schoenherr (1935-2010) was the artist responsible for visualising and illustrating Herbert’s "Dune" — firstly in the pages of "Analog" magazine, then in the fully illustrated edition of the classic science fiction tale. But Herbert didn’t stop there, he later added:

"I can envision no more perfect visual representation of my "Dune" world than John Schoenherr’s careful and accurate illustrations."

High praise indeed, but truly deserved, for as Jeff Love pointed out in "Omni Reboot," Schoenherr’s illustrations are “the most important science fiction art ever created.”

"If there’s anywhere the old axiom about judging a book by its cover holds true, it’s science fiction. Few authors and the artists employed to visualize their stories achieve a real dialogue; more often than not, throughout the history of science fiction, literature of real depth is sold with flashy aliens and cosmic exaggerations. An extraordinary illustrator, however, is capable of contributing to a piece of literature just as meaningfully as its author. In the case of an artist like John Schoenherr, he becomes the work’s joint architect–and leaves a mark no less indelible."

Schoenherr’s indelible mark made its first appearance alongside a three-part serialization of "Dune World" in the pages of "Analog" magazine (1963-64). This was followed by the five-part "Prophet of Dune" in 1965, for this he won a Hugo Award as Best Professional Artist.

Then in 1976, Schoenherr supplied the artwork for "Children of Dune," leading to the epic every home should one volume "The Illustrated Dune" in 1978."

Planet Dune (2021)

My rating: 4/10

The unofficial Dune prequel you didn't know you needed. Because you don't. It's quite bad and rather nonsensical.
