[ISLMA-Share] Manga Shakespear

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We have *MacBeth: The Graphic Novel* (manga) that says it is "A
science-fiction graphic novel adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy
of brutal ambition, in which Macbeth, a dragon-riding nobleman in a future
world, kills his king with the help of his power-hungry wife and finds
himself battling rivals and vengeance seekers for his life and the throne."

Published New York : Puffin Books, 2005.
Format 176 p. : ill. ; 21 cm.
ISBN 0-14-240409-8
Unrelated to that book, I did some more investigating on Titlewave and
there is an 8-book set of Manga Shakepeare.
