Shakespeare’s tragedy in graphic form

Set in eleventh-century Scotland, Gareth Hinds’s visual adaptation brings Macbeth’s rise from royal general to would-be king into graphic-novel form. The turning point is a prophecy from three witches, which feeds Macbeth’s ambition; his wife urges him toward the murder of King Duncan. Suspicion then threatens the power he has seized, bringing the story’s focus on ambition, murder, and the consequences of violence into view. The graphic format offers a visual route into Shakespeare’s tragedy while retaining its central conflict over the cost of pursuing the crown.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in Shakespeare presented as a graphic novel.
  • Readers exploring tragedies about ambition, power, and violence.
  • Students in grades 7–12 seeking a visual adaptation of Macbeth.

Book overview

Shakespeare's classic story of dark ambition, madness, and murder springs to life in a masterful new graphic novel by Gareth Hinds.

Set against the moody backdrop of eleventh-century Scotland, Gareth Hinds's captivating, richly illustrated interpretation takes readers into the claustrophobic mind of a man driven mad by ambition.An evil seed takes root in the mind of Macbeth, a general in the king's army, when three witches tell him he will one day be king. At the urging of his wife, he resolves to take the throne by the most direct path: a dagger in the heart of King Duncan. But "blood will have blood," and when others grow suspicious of his sudden rise to power, is Macbeth prepared to commit more murders to keep the crown?
