Book Description:
A taut adaptation of Shakespeare’s masterwork by Gareth Hinds – the standard-bearer of graphic-novel retellings of literary classics.
About the Author:
Gareth Hinds has been drawing stories since his earliest childhood. King Lear is the second in his series of graphic novels adapted from the great classics of English literature. He says, “Shakespeare's plays were meant to be performed, and yet their greatness rests as much on their merits as literature – on the experience they give a reader – as on their theatrical power. I think the graphic novel form is a perfect bridge between the printed word and theatrical performance. I am so pleased to be able to make Lear, with its incredible imagery and drama, available in this format.” Gareth has a BFA from Parsons School of Design and lives in Massachusetts.
