Brown:
"The subject matter for my solo shows has often been Jews in America," Brown says.

Classic Comics this isn't...
After her failed suicide attempt Juliet becomes a skilled freedom fighter. Othello, guilt ridden after murdering his beloved Desdemona, becomes a reckless sword-for-hire. Hamlet flees Denmark to fulfill his destiny. In Kill Shakespeare , a new independent comic book title, these well known characters join with the fairy Robin Goodfellow and the irascible Falstaff in an epic struggle against Richard III, Lady Macbeth, and the scheming Iago. It's like The Justice League vs The Injustice League, only with lots of thees and thous thrown in.
