Björn Barends’ Stunning Variant Cover to Dune: House Harkonnen #4 revealed

BOOM! Studios has revealed the variant cover of Dune: House Harkonnen #4 by Björn Barends, the latest issue of a brand new twelve-issue comic book series expanding the rich mythology of Frank Herbert’s Dune. The second official, NYT Bestselling prequel to Dune is adapted for the first time by award-winning novelists Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson and artist Michael Shelfer, colorist Patricio Delpeche, and letterer Ed Dukeshire, unveiling a closer look at the rising conflict between beloved characters and bitter villains and available on stores April 26, 2023. 

Although Leto and Kailea’s blossoming romance brings about the expectation of their first child, political complications put a strain on their relationship, while a traitor looms in their midst. On Lankiveil, Glossu Rabban turns trophy hunting into what the Harkonnens are known for best–their brutality. And as the years pass, a shadow still follows Leto and Kailea, seeding further discontent, even as an exile from Ix comes seeking help, and maybe even liberation for the planet!

Dune: House Harkonnen #4 features main and variant cover art by highly acclaimed artist Raymond Swanland and variant covers by artists Reiko Murakami, and Gene Ha.
