Classics in Graphics: Macbeth has been adapted by expert authors, Steve Skidmore and Steve Barlow, and brought to life through the visual talents of illustrators Jason Millet and Edu Rubio. The tragic downfall reads like your favourite action film – as Macbeth’s desperation becomes more and more deadly.
