Synopsis "Macbeth-The Graphic Novel"

STARDATE: 1040 In a distant and exotic ringworld, there is one name that outshines all others...Macbeth. He's the bravest of the brave, the most loyal of all King Duncan's dragon-riding lords. But within his heart burns a secret desire to be king at all costs, including murder. When the opportunity arises, he and his wife, the ruthless Lady Macbeth seize it and kill Duncan. Yet the throne is not secure. The spilling of Duncan's blood begets the spilling of more blood as rivals and vengeance seekers rise up against Macbeth. And suddenly, King Macbeth finds himself at war-with the dragon lords, with himself, and with fate that seems to conspire more and more against him with each passing day. Set in a science-fiction world of the far future, this is a stunning graphic novel adaptation of Shakespeare's classic story of ambition gone wrong.

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
