This is William Shakespeare's full and unabridged play in comic
book form. This full colour graphic novel presents "The Scottish
Play" just as Shakespeare intended: in its original and unabridged
format. Ideal for purists, students and readers who will appreciate
the unaltered text. "Macbeth" is probably the most dramatic of
Shakespeare's tragedies and this version will give you a brand new
and totally fulfilling view of the sheer genius of Shakespeare's
story telling. Witchcraft, superstition, murder - it's all here!
Featuring stunning artwork, and full of action, atmosphere and
intrigue from start to finish; this new treatment of The Bard's
wonderful tragedy will have you on the edge of your seat. It's 11th
century Scotland. Macbeth, Thane of Glamis, is one of King Duncan's
greatest war captains. Upon returning from a battle with the
rebellious Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth and Banquo encounter three
witches, who prophecy that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and
then King. They also prophecy that Banquo will become the father of
kings. When Lady Macbeth hears this, she is determined to push her
husband to take fate into his own hands and make himself king by
murdering Duncan. Macbeth is reluctant to harm Duncan. But, when
the King makes arrangements to visit Macbeth's castle, the
opportunity presents itself. Pressed on by his wife, Macbeth kills
Duncan and blames the King's drunken attendants, who he also kills.
However, Macbeth is racked with guilt and begins to see
apparitions. When the body is discovered, Malcolm and Donalbain,
the King's sons, are suspicious of Macbeth and flee for their
lives. To everyone else, it looks as if the sons have been the
chief conspirators and Macbeth is crowned King of Scotland.
Banquo's suspicions grow, based on his encounter with the witches
and Macbeth is wary of the second prophecy concerning Banquoa's
offspring. Macbeth hires assassins to kill Banquo and his son,
Fleance. Banquo is murdered that night, but Fleance escapes. The
bloody ghost of Banquo appears to Macbeth at a feast, tormenting
his already guilty conscience. In addition, Macduff, once a comrade
of Macbeth, has fled after the King's sons to England, as he also
suspects Macbeth. In revenge, Macbeth butchers Macduff's entire
household. Macduff and the King's sons raise an army in England and
march against Macbeth, who is given another prophecy by the
witches, as he prepares for the assault. They tell him his throne
is safe until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane and he will not die by
the hand of any man born of a woman. Macbeth now feels invincible.
Lady Macbeth, on the other hand, has been slowly driven mad by her
dreams, in the wake of Duncan's murder. She sleepwalks and
eventually kills herself. Macbeth learns that many of his lords are
deserting and joining Malcolm's army, which approaches Dunsinane
under cover of boughs, which they've cut from the trees of Birnam
Wood. Macbeth and Macduff eventually meet on the bloody
battlefield. Macbeth laughs derisively, relating the witches'
prophecy. But Macduff retorts that he was from his mother's womb
untimely ripp'd and not (technically) of woman born. The play ends
with the death of Macbeth and Malcolm is crowned King of Scotland.
This is the complete play which is translated into plain English.
Although "The Tempest" was the first play to appear in the first
official Folio printing of Shakespeare's plays, it was almost
certainly the last play he wrote. It held pride of place in that
first collection, presumably because the editors thought it to be
his masterpiece; a crowning glory to the career of the most
brightest of playwrights. Needless to say, we had to select the
very best artists to do it justice, and to bring you the stunning
artwork that you've come to expect from our titles. Poignant to the
last, this book is a classic amongst classics.

This is the full and unabridged play as a graphic novel! 'But soft,
what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet
is the sun'! This title presents the tragic tale of doomed love,
set in Verona, Italy, where the Montagues and the Capulets
constantly feud and bring unrest to the city. So how could love
possibly survive between this pair of star-crossed lovers, Romeo
Montague and Juliet Capulet? Only Shakespeare could take such a
romantic story and turn it into a soul-searching tragedy.
The entire Shakespeare play - unabridged! "The course of true love
never did run smooth;" With its mix of real people who stumble into
a fairy kingdom (with it's own problems!) it's little wonder that
this play is one of the best loved and most performed of all
Shakespeare's masterpieces.
