This sounds really cool. I have been wanting to re-read Macbeth, so maybe I will check this out.

Dude, it's awesome. You so totally want it. :-p

These classical comics sound interesting. I loved MacBeth.

Nifty :) I know there are at least five companies putting out "Manga Shakespeare" and I've always been so tempted to get some....

hmmmm you might make me start driving out of my way to the comic book store to see if they are carrying these. Right now I have the one book I am still actively collecting shipped to me direct from the creator

fashion_piranha November 26 2008, 04:22:25 UTC

So what's the one book you still collect? :)

Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose by Jim Balent ohhh that reminds me I think I need to call them, I believe my subscription is about up and its time to renew so I don't miss an issue LOL

Ohhhh and did you happen to see Neil Gaiman's blog? Your blog was mentioned :-"

I e-mailed him the link yesterday afternoon; I thought he might want to see it since I wasn't sure if he got to see the boxes before they were mailed.

Are these the full text of the plays, or do they get condensed for space?

fashion_piranha November 26 2008, 06:06:04 UTC

The Original Text claims to be unabridged on the cover, and the spot-checking I did seemed to follow. Since Macbeth is such a short play I think it would be easy to include the whole text, minus the Exeunts and other stage instructions.
