The beloved series that The New York Times dubbed, "dark fun," is back with this re-release of the beloved series' first issue!
A grieving Hamlet flees his home but is soon attacked by pirates at sea. He washes ashore on the mysterious land of Illyria and is discovered by Richard III, who offers the Dane an impossible bargain: track down and kill an evil wizard the to retrieve a source of power that can bring Hamlet's father back from the dead.
The name of that wizard? William Shakespeare.
Created by Pulitzer Prize-winner Anthony Del Col (Luke Cage: Everyman, I Escaped a Chinese Internment Camp) alongside Conor McCreery (Assassin's Creed) and with art by Andy Belanger (Southern Cross), this opening chapter of the sage spawned an international theater show, a board game and more.
