Riassunto

Bringing together the dramatic works of the Bard with the graphic manga style of storytelling, these faithful retellings of Shakespeare's most popular plays capture the characters, action, and settings of the dramatic works through the visual images of talented manga artists who work in the popular graphic novel format, accompanied by introductions that set the stage for each play.

Recensione:

Reading a comic adaptation of Shakespeare offers students an opportunity to make sense of the rich language using the illustrations. Shakespeare, after all, was meant to be seen not read. Experiencing Shakespeare as a comic is the best substitute to watching the play itself. --( The Graphic Classroom , April 12, 2008)
