1st printing. Based on the play by William Shakespeare. Adapted by Gareth Hinds. Gareth Hinds's stylish graphic adaptation of the Bard's romantic tragedy offers modern touches, including a diverse cast that underscores the story's universality. She's a Capulet. He's a Montague.

How much will they have to sacrifice before they can be together? In a masterful adaptation faithful to Shakespeare's original text, Gareth Hinds (Beowulf) transports readers to the sun-washed streets and market squares of Shakespeare's Verona, vividly bringing the classic play to life on the printed page. Softcover, 7-in. x 11-in., 144 pages, full color. Cover price $12.99.
