Terrible adaptation- I know Macbeth and very often didn't understand this book.

The art is above average other than overdone shadows- but it's excellent for a "Graphic Planet" title.

A good summary for those who want to get a taste before diving into a 4-hour play.

Don't get me wrong. I love the story of Macbeth, and some of the play versions I've seen are soooo good, but I just did not care for the art in this particular version or the way it was presented. The characters all looked so similar I had a hard time distinguishing who was who. It was simply the version that ruined it for me.
