Gareth Hinds's stylish graphic adaptation of Shakespeare's romantic tragedy offers modern touches, including a diverse cast underscoring the story's universality.

Romeo and Juliet tells the tale of two young lovers from rival families. She's a Capulet. He's a Montague. When they first meet, they remain unaware of their family's feud, and when they find out, they don't care. Their love is honest, raw, and all-consuming. But it's also dangerous.

How much will they have to sacrifice before they can be together?

In a masterful adaptation faithful to Shakespeare's original text, Gareth Hinds transports readers to the sun-washed streets and market squares of Shakespeare's Verona, vividly bringing the classic play to life on the printed page.

About the Author

Gareth Hinds is the acclaimed creator of the graphic novels The Odyssey, Beowulf, The Merchant of Venice, and King Lear. About Romeo and Juliet, he says, "The gold standard for romantic tragedy, this play features some of the most brilliant rhymed verse ever written. It was a joy to work with the text and spend time with these characters. And I had a great time drawing the sword-fights!" Gareth Hinds lives in New York. www.garethhinds.com
