A totally sublime read. Magnificent. - By: Raymond_u_k, 01 Mar 2008 
Presented with stunning, high gloss, full colour illustrations I never believed that reading Shakespeare could be so enjoyable.
From cover to cover, the contents left me totallly spellbound & actuallly gave me a wonderful sense of achievement that for the first time, I had actuallly managed to complete & UNDERSTAND a Shakespeare play. Furthermore the plain text version was delightful as it was brilliantly easy to follow & yet was worded in an "old english" tongue that still sounded classical.
Also included as a bonus, were historical references to the actual Battle of Agincourt, the early life of Shakespeare & the origins/reconstruction of the Globe Theatre.
This publication is presented so beautifully, it leaves one wanting more & certainly ignites one's interest to pursue other wonderful plays in this format. My only regret is, that this publication was not available when I was wading through Shakespeare, in my teens. Highly recommended & money well spent. Thankyou again.
At last. Approachable Shakespeare - By: Down Under, 11 Feb 2008 Whilst the language of the immortal bard can be seen as beautiful for those who study it in great detail, those of us who don't have the time miss out on the subleties of the story, the humour & the social comment.
Well done to these guys for making Henry V accessible both graphicallly & in prose.
what a great place to start!! - By: Bryson Buff, 27 Oct 2007 The third in my collection, & another superb offering. The text is unabridged, & translated into more 'modern' English. The main speeches however remain in Shakesperian English. What a stunning idea!!!! Well done Classical Comics, why hasn't this been done before?
I've already waxed lyrical about the artwork, so won't bore you with that again, but the three text options have made Shakespeare available to everyone. I'll be buying the rest. Lead on McDuff (I'm hoping that is from Macbeth!)
