The Merchant of Venice tells the tale of young Bassanio, who, to win the love of fair Portia, entangles his dearest friend, Antonio, in a dangerous bargain with the moneylender Shylock. Only Bassanio's heartfelt efforts and a clever intervention by Portia will save Antonio from paying Shylock "a pound of flesh". This graphic-novel adaptation boasts a chic modern cast, high drama, and all the dark, familiar beauty of Venice. With elegant drawings and a faithful but succinct adaptation, Gareth Hinds pays homage to the Bard while luring modern readers with a stylish new vision.

Gareth Hinds has been drawing visual stories since his earliest childhood. His first fully painted graphic novel was Beowulf. He has also adapted the Grimms' tale Bearskin, as well as Shakespeare's King Lear. About The Merchant of Venice, he says, "I find the fairy-tale symbolism and ethical dilemmas of this play compelling, and I wanted to use the graphic-novel form to present them to a modern audience in my own way." Gareth Hinds has a BFA in Illustration from Parsons / The New School for Design. He lives in Massachussetts.
