Reviews"[This] entry in the No Fear Shakespeare Graphic Novels line makes the Bard even more accessible.The language has been further simplified, but not dumbed down, and the story stays true to the arc of the play, with the monologues and interiors nearly intact. Babra's artwork..is no mere window dressing, its clear, black-and-white scenes often shifting into a stark, expressionistic mode that heightens the drama. Along with a nicely digestible version of the play, this will give readers a feel for Shakespeare's language and wordplay...With all that going for it, this admirable effort is likely to succeed..."-- Booklist
