Macbeth - Koning van Schotland #1

Guillaume Sorel's cover for this 2022 Dutch-language adaptation sets a brooding, atmospheric tone from the first glance — a warrior and a dark-haired woman in red robes embrace in the foreground, while above them, silhouetted figures stand atop a jagged black crag against a stark white sky, swords raised. Subtitled "Het boek der heksen" (The Book of the Witches), this opening volume from Dark Dragon Books brings Shakespeare's tale of ambition and fate to the bande dessinée format, with Thomas Day and Remco Koning adapting the source material. Sorel's rich, painterly linework gives the whole composition a sweeping, cinematic weight that makes this a compelling entry point into the story of Macbeth, King of Scotland.
