Description
Richard The Third - the graphic novel: Shakespeare for fans of Dogman & Bunny & Monkey
It's Shakespeare like you never saw before! King Richard is one part Dennis The Menace, one part Captain Underpants, and 100% evil Shakespearian villain.
Follow his stabby stabby death death exploits as he takes over the throne of England, with his trusty best mate Bucky the Unicorn!
A fab fun comic retelling of Shakespeare's so-called tragedy, ideal for readers of Dogman, Bunny vs Monkey, Captain Underpants and Beano.
Kev F Sutherland is a comics creator who's written and drawn for Beano, Marvel comics and pretty well everyone else. This is his 4th Shakespearean graphic novel, following the success of Findlay Macbeth, Hamlet Prince Of Denmark Street, and The Midsummer Night's Dream Team. Check them out, they're brilliant too!
What the readers say:
"...really smart & clever... seamless riffing from high Shakespeare to low demotic." - Martin Rowson (on Prince Of Denmark Street)
***** "A clever way in to Shakespeare. Recommend." - Anna, Etsy
***** "I normally stay away from Shakespeare works but not this enjoyable and funny" - Debbie, Amazon
***** "What an amazing and imaginative spin on a Shakespeare classic. Highly recommended!!!" - Chris R, Amazon
***** "A genuine page-turner with more twists and turns than a contortionist playing twister on the Hampton Court Palace Maze schematics after downing a dozen Red Bulls. Highly recommended!" - Laurence, Amazon
***** "Another brilliant book from Kev. He brings Shakespeare to life in a new, fun and interesting way - updated for the 21st century in his own unique way. I love his books!!" - Pixies & Me, Etsy
