The Tempest

Pendulum Press launched this single-issue comic in 1980 as part of their line adapting classic literature for younger readers. Writer Rich Margopoulos, working from William Shakespeare’s original play, and artist Gerry Talaoc condensed the magical storm, shipwreck, and island intrigue into a vivid, accessible comic format. It stands as a compact entry in the Pendulum Illustrated Classics series, introducing a new generation to Prospero’s tale of revenge and forgiveness through dynamic visuals.
