The famous love story between young people from rival families gets an exquisite comic book version. Ivan Jaf’s script preserves the essence of the original text and Shakespeare’s literary spirit — a mix of drama, comedy and social criticism — while Tainan Rocha’s illustrations add color, light and even more action to the narrative. Agile dialogues and illustrations that preserve the original characterization in the settings and characters, with a contemporary design, give robustness to the adaptation of this universal classic. One of the differentials of the book stands out: an afterword written by a renowned Shakespeare scholar in Brazil, who guides the young reader in diving into Romeo and Juliet.
