Macbeth - Shakespeare Manga Series
"The graphic novels known as manga (Japanese for “whimsical pictures”) are a natural medium for Shakespeare’s work. Like his tragedies, comedies, histories, and romances, which are thrillingly dynamic if properly staged, manga are of course visual. In fact, a manga is potentially more visual than a stage production of one of the plays of Shakespeare. Unbound by the physical realities of the theater, the graphic novel can depict any situation, no matter how fantastical or violent, that its creators are able to pencil, ink, and shade."
