Shakespeare’s most commonly studied plays, now the latest additions to the innovative Manga Shakespeare series.
In Shakespeare’s enduring tale of ancient Rome, Julius Caesar is at the height of his powers—but there are men plotting his destruction. Is Caesar a tyrant or a dynamic leader? Are his enemies greedy or noble? The Manga Shakespeare adaptation of this important work maintains the language—and the fierce political intrigue—of the original while including a fresh perspective through the style of modern manga.
A Dark Julius Ceaser The sixth of the Manga Shakespeare is the darkest of them. The drawing and selection of lines goes for the war torn look. The constant circling gunships and look of Mad Max tell the story in Shakespeare's words and has some depth with the art work, but it is harsh. I found myself stumbling sometimes on the language due, to being distracted by the drawings, a bit disconcerting,but some art is that way. You may need to read it twice to understand more of the artwork. Not for the youngest manga fans
