Manga Shakespeare

     Shakespeare plays meets Japanese manga.  An interesting combination, what?  I certainly thought so when I stumbled upon the series when browsing on Amazon.com. 

     A fellow named Richard Appignanesi has teamed up with various talented mangaka to create these, using Shakespeare's original text.  The dialogue is perforce abridged, somewhat, but not enough to take away from the plot, and the illustrations are both amusing, and pretty to look at.

     So far, I've purchased Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night, and As You Like It.
