The Tempest #74-6443

Shakespeare's enchanting tale of magic, exile, and redemption comes to comics form in this 1980 Pendulum Press adaptation, with art and inks by Gerry Talaoc. The cover presents an elegantly ornate design — a richly decorated cartouche in blue and gold, flanked by cherubs and heraldic flourishes, with a lute-playing figure in period costume lending the whole composition a warm, theatrical character befitting the source material. Writer Rich Margopoulos joins the Bard himself in bringing The Tempest to sequential art, making this a genuinely appealing entry point for readers who love both classic literature and the comics medium.
