(2) YA Hinds reformats Shakespeare's play as a graphic novel, with interesting--if mixed--results. Mostly using excerpts from key speeches (plus some incongruous colloquial paraphrases), Hinds shapes a coherent narrative. His characters, dressed in mid-twentieth-century clothing, convey as much meaning through expressive gestures and facial expressions as through dialogue. The clarity of narration (verbal and visual) makes this a fine bridge to Shakespeare's language.
