I’m not the only person who is champing at the bit for Denis Villeneuve’s modern-day adaptation of Dune. In anticipation of a fall release — which was recently kicked down the road into 2021 — I actually picked up the original book from the library.

But... maybe it’s the year that we’re all living through right now, but it was really hard to stay focused past the first few chapters. That’s why I’ve found Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 1 such a delight.
