Product Description
With elegant, contemporary artwork and a faithful but succinct adaptation, this graphic novel casts a classic drama in a provocative new light.
Here is the tale of young Bassanio, who, to win the love of fair Portia, entangles his dearest friend, Antonio, in a dangerous bargain with the moneylender Shylock. Only Bassanio’s heartfelt efforts — and a clever intervention by Portia — will save Antonio from paying Shylock "a pound of flesh." Moody and mesmerizing, this graphic novel adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s more controversial plays boasts a chic modern cast, high drama, and all the dark, familiar beauty of Venice.

Artwork 9/10 very edgy yet antique and just right for the play June 17, 2008
In my quest to cover my Shakespeare 'tasks' with minimum pain, this had to be on the list. I liked the artwork - a lot. The colours I found matched the mood and tone of the play. I'd toyed with other versions before plumping for this one, with art I guess it's all down to personal taste. Seems to be quite a chunk of the play 'missing', probably because its one very long play. I'll still need to buy another book to fill in the gaps. But other than that, if you are 'doing' the play, go for it.
