“Pairs richly detailed interiors and exteriors with painstakingly rendered characters, … A solid introduction for budding lovers of the Bard.” —Kirkus Reviews

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark…

On a dark winter night, the ghost of young prince Hamlet’s father appears before him, demanding Hamlet seek vengeance for his murder by killing the new king, Hamlet’s uncle. What follows is one of the most intense and intriguing tragedies of all time. As grief and anger consume him, Hamlet must face a battle with not only the external agitators closing in on all sides, but within the torment of his own mind.

This dynamic graphic novel vividly reinvents Shakespeare’s masterpiece of guilt and revenge in bold, full-color detail. It is the perfect treat for young readers looking for an introduction into one of literature’s most powerful and influential classics. With decisive precision, adapter Malini Roy condenses the Bard’s text to enhance accessibility while remaining true to the drama’s enduring themes of the human struggle against fate and the corruptive power of revenge.
