About this title

From the Inside Flap:

(back cover)
“Blood will have blood . . .â€?

Three witches have foretold that Macbeth will be king of Scotland—and he will stop at nothing to make this prophesy come true. But if he assassinates King Duncan and grabs the crown, what next? Will he get away with it, or will his crimes come back to haunt him?

Blood, guilt, revenge, and witchcraft are the main ingredients in Shakespeare’s gripping tragedy,now vividly and faithfully retold in graphic novel format.
