William Shakespeare's King Lear

In 2023, ABDO Publishing adapted one of the Bard's most devastating tragedies into a single-issue comic, bringing King Lear's tale of madness, betrayal, and a kingdom divided to a new visual medium. Scripted by Brian Farrens and Danielle Conner from Shakespeare's original text, with art by Ben Dunn, this graphic novel distills the storm-ravaged drama into a concise, accessible format for modern readers. It stands as a straightforward, respectful entry in the publisher's line of literary comics, offering a fresh entry point for those intimidated by the play's dense language.
