Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 3 – The Prophet by Brian Herbert
In Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 3 – The Prophet, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson conclude their adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune with art by Raúl Allén and Patricia Martín with Jesús R. Pastrana, and covers by Bill Sienkiewicz. The story begins approximately a year after Paul Muad’Dib Atreides joined the Fremen and learned their ways. He cements his power and his legacy as the Kwisatz Haderach when he summons a great worm to ride and drinks the waters of life. Meanwhile, Baron Harkonnen continues to lose his grasp on Arrakis and faces increasing pressure from Emperor Shaddam IV. Paul’s mother, the Lady Jessica, acts as the spiritual leader of the Fremen and an advisor to Paul alongside Chani. Paul’s sister, Alia, unsettles the Fremen as she was changed in-utero when her mother drank the waters of life. The conflict comes to a head as Paul reunites with Gurney Halleck and draws the Emperor to Arrakis. This graphic novel continues to faithfully adapt the story of Dune, including elements that the film and miniseries adaptations left out due to time constraints. Fans of the series will enjoy Allén, Martín, and Pastrana’s art as they neatly compliment the story and action. A must-read for fans and a great way for new readers to explore the world of Dune.… (more)

I read this adaptation without having read the novel, but after reading the original novel "Dune" - I was therefore familiar with the characters and world. This comic series is beautifully done and results in a very enjoyable read, I could not wait to read the following volumes!
Definitely an exhaustive resource about Frank. If you wanna know, like, beat for beat what he did on any given day of his life this is the way to go. I feel like I know more about what Frank and Bev ate on any given one of their vacations than I do about the world of Dune. Also kind of reads like a memoir from Brian.
