When three witches tell Scottish warrior Macbeth that he is destined to be king, it sparks off a series of tragic events. Spurred on by his ambitious wife, Macbeth is determined to fulfil his destiny, whatever the cost. Shakespeare's tale of ruthless ambition is retold with simplified text. The comic strip format provides an accessible introduction to the works of Shakespeare. A map, together with background information on Shakespeare and the original play bring added value.

In my opinion, the Usborne version is a bargain-basement item, intended to fill a blank spot in the publisher's lineup. The adaptation of Shakespeare's text is acceptable, not not anything more than that. Overall, the illustrations are competent but not special; my gut snarks that they were drawn by the low-bidder, who was chosen for the job simply because he was the low-bidder. They are sketchy. The characters convey anger more often than any other emotion.
I've posted a comparison of this edition with the edition created by Gareth Hinds. A substantial selection of visuals from both books is included. Here's the linky: https://www.librarything.com/topic/340224#7796277
