Overview

"Hamlet is a punk rocker, in this 120 page graphic novel retelling of Shakespeare's tragedy, written and drawn by Beano and Marvel creator Kev F Sutherland. ""Something's rotten, look at the state of Denmark Street"" It's 1977, and on London's Tin Pan Alley, the home of the music business, Hamlet and The Danes are the hottest new punk rock band. But when Hamlet discovers his dad's been killed and his uncle's taken over the music biz, while also marrying his mum, there's hell to pay. This book gives you the 120 page graphic novel, plus the full Shakespeare play so you can see how much is by the bard and how much by Kev F, plus there's a Soundtrack Album, and an article about the history of London's Denmark Street. ""A hit - a palpable hit!""
