Babra's Hamlet is Inspired!

Hamlet: A Graphic Adaptation by Neil Babra is wonderful! Shakespeare's play is a great horror story, and Babra's drawings truly complement and support the text—check out these samples .

This "No Fear Shakespeare" graphic novel is part of Buns & Noodle's SparkNotes study guide empire, so almost half of the play is restated in "everyday English." Babra wisely restored much of the most understandable original. I've seen & read the play several times, and I still learned things—especially because this edition is entire, with none of the cuts made for most productions.

While anyone interested in Hamlet will love this graphic novel, I particularly commend it as a gateway drug for first-time Shakespeare readers.
