Beautifully illustrated, this series presents two of Shakespeare's plays in a graphic-novel format with a unique twist. The plays are available in three different text versions using the same graphics:
- The first version (Original Text) presents the entire play in Shakespeare's original language
- The second (Plain Text) features the full text in a modern English translation
- The third (Quick Text) presents the full play with a shortened version of the modern English text for a fast-paced read.
Since the pages and illustrations all match up, a classroom could have students reading different versions based on their abilities, and they could all follow along and join in discussions regardless of which version they were reading. The play is followed in all editions with some background material on Shakespeare and the historic figures of Macbeth and Henry V. Classical Comics. Approximately 140 pages each. ©2008.
