Description

Named one of the 10 best graphic novels of 2008 for youth by Booklist. This adaptation features loose, flowing page layouts, often without panel borders, and the setting is a melange of historical periods and styles. The text is mainly based on the 1608 Quarto, and is condensed to about half the original material. When an old king tries to divide his kingdom among his three daughters, he unleashes a power struggle that will tear his family and the kingdom apart. With a raging storm as a backdrop, Shakespeare explores themes of truth, loyalty, anger, madness, ambition, justice, and rebellion in this, one of his greatest tragedies.
