​The couple of Romeo and Juliette have been frequently portrayed in music, dance, theater, and literature, however, there are few meaningful illustrated versions of the story, and in many of them the illustrations are merely decorative; that is why this book has the purpose of being a purely graphic narrative that recreates, in a fresh and proactive way, the tragic story of these lovers, who already have a place in the public’s imagination.
