About the series
A gritty, five-issue miniseries from AWA Studios, The Crimson Cage (2021–2022) reimagines Shakespeare's Macbeth as a violent, no-holds-barred professional wrestling story. Written by John Lees and illustrated by Alex Cormack, the series follows a down-on-his-luck wrestler who, after a cryptic prophecy, becomes consumed by ambition in a world of backstage politics and brutal matches. Its visceral, noir-infused art and tight, character-driven plot offer a fresh, unflinching take on a classic tragedy, making it a standout for fans of both crime comics and sports drama.
