Synopsis:
Cast onto the waters by his power-hungry brother Antonio, Prospero, the Duke of Milan, has been living on a distant island for a dozen years along with his daughter Miranda. In his years of banishment, Prospero has developed strong magical powers — powers that not only allow him to deduce that Antonio is on a nearby ship, but to cause the ship to run aground. At long last, Prospero has a chance to get revenge on those who have wronged him. But, will he also ruin Miranda’s chance for happiness? The Tempest is considered by many critics to be Shakespeare’s crowning glory. This full-color graphic novel presents the sparkling romantic comedy just as Shakespeare intended: in its original and unabridged format, and in its original setting. As with the other titles in this well-received series, it encourages readers to discover classical literature while staying true to Shakespeare’s vision. Also available are a Plain Text version, translated into modern U.S. English, and the Original Text version, with the Bard's unabridged work.
About the Authors:
William Shakespeare is one of the most widely read authors
and possibly the best dramatist ever to live. The actual date of his
birth is not known but, traditionally, April 23 1564, has been his
accepted birthday (St George's Day). He died on the same date in 1616,
aged 52.
John McDonald is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and has adapted all of Classical Comics' Shakespeare titles.
British comic artist Jon Haward created the character designs and original artwork for Classical Comics' The Tempest.
Nigel Dobbyn had previously lettered Henry V and both lettered and coloured The Tempest.
Inking assistant Gary Erskine also drew Dan Dare for Virgin comics.
