When three witches prophecy to Macbeth that he will one day become the King of Scotland, an epic of unhappiness, treachery, and blood begins. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's ambitions lead to an ever-growing path of murder as Macbeth grows ever-closer to the throne. But where will it all end? Only with death and with madness. Influenced by the witches and magic of Macbeth, K. Briggs's lush new graphic novel rendition of the classic provides a new interpretation of the Scottish play. Briggs, as a Shakespeare reader (and performer) from age twelve, brings their lifelong love of the Bard to this work.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"A magnificent, abstract, emotional interpretation. Briggs speaks to every aspect the play has - and more. A luscious, freewheeling display of illustrative and intellectual prowess." - DoomRocket
"The mix of reverence for a literary classic with playful, sensuously detailed artistry is a joy." - Publishers Weekly Starred Review
