"...Shakespeare's plays were originally acombination of the visual and oral mediums....A graphic novel bridges the visual gap forsomeone reading the plays. They provide themissing visual element and Classical Comics'artwork is vibrant and skillfully rendered. Itleaves the page and enters the stage of thereader's mind, adding dimension and characterto the text."
