I haven't read King Lear since high school so my memory is vague about the story so I went with this graphic adaptation for a re-read.⁠

I can see that Hinds kept the larger aspects of the bard's original story and adding in some additional context in his adaptation but trying to follow the dashes from character to speech bubbles became confusing and in a digital format didn't read as well as maybe a printed version could.⁠
