Macbeth (GN)

STARDATE: 1040

In a distant and exotic ringworld, there is one name that outshines all others…Macbeth. He's the bravest of the brave, the most loyal of all King Duncan's dragon-riding lords. But within his heart burns a secret desire to be king at all costs, including murder. When the opportunity arises, he and his wife, the ruthless Lady Macbeth seize it and kill Duncan.

Yet the throne is not secure. The spilling of Duncan’s blood begets the spilling of more blood as rivals and vengeance seekers rise up against Macbeth. And suddenly, King Macbeth find himself at war—with the dragon lords, with himself, and with fate that seems to conspire more and more against him with each passing day.

Set in a science-fiction world of the far future, this is a stunning graphic novel adaptation of Shakespeare's classic story of ambition gone wrong.

William Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language. Though his plays are famous, very little is actually known about him. In fact, there were two periods in his life 1578 to 1582 and 1585 to 1592 known as “the lost years” in which absolutely nothing is known.
