Ham-let: A Shakespearean Mash-up #[nn]

A delightful 2022 reimagining from Dark Horse, Ham-let: A Shakespearean Mash-up takes the Danish prince's tragedy and retells it with an all-animal cast — the cover introduces our porcine Ham-let himself, skull in hand, surrounded by a colorful ensemble including Claude, Trudy, Ophelia, and Catsby, each rendered as a distinct anthropomorphic creature from bull to bunny to rooster. Jim Burnstein, Garrett Schiff, and Elisa Ferrari serve up a warm, witty visual sensibility that makes the Bard's most brooding tale feel genuinely playful. Whether you're a Shakespeare devotee or just here for the pig with an existential crisis, this one's hard to resist.
