Hundred Penny Press: Kill Shakespeare #1
In "A Sea of Troubles," Hamlet—exiled to England after his father’s death—faces a pirate attack and is cast adrift, only to be rescued by the cunning Richard III. Convinced that Hamlet is the prophesied Shadow King destined to overthrow the tyrant god Shakespeare, Richard offers a shocking promise: the power of the three witches can restore Hamlet’s father. Written by Conor McCreery and Anthony Del Col, with art by Andy Belanger and coloring by Ian Herring, this first issue of Hundred Penny Press: Kill Shakespeare introduces a bold, reimagined Shakespearean world. The cover, also by Andy Belanger, captures the storm-tossed drama of Hamlet’s perilous journey.
