No Fear Shakespeare Graphic Novels is a series based on the translated texts of the plays found in No Fear Shakespeare. The original No Fear series made Shakespeares plays much easier to read, but these dynamic visual adaptations are impossible to put down. Each of the titles is illustrated in its own unique style, but all are distinctively offbeat, slightly funky, and appealing. Each book features an illustrated cast of characters, helpful plot summary, line-by-line translations of the play and illustrations that will enhance your understanding of the story and characters.

Voicesare calling to him from the darkness and he's powerless toresist. Kernel has already been to hell and back. Nowhe's about to go further.
Fire! It's all around me, fierce, intense, out of control. Ifeel the hair on my arms singe and know I have only seconds beforeI burst into flames. Total panic. There's a horrible shriekingsound, piercing and destructive. My eardrums and eyeballs shouldburst. "It's hell!" I moan. One boy's life ripped to shreds before hiseyes... One wrathful demon master hell-bent onrevenge... An army of grisly Demonata on the rampage... It's the end of the world as we know it.

This new edition focuses on the Sonnets as poetry - sometimes strikingly individual poems, but often subtly interlinked in thematic, imagistic and other groupings. Gwynne Evans and Anthony Hecht also address the many questions that cast a veil of mystery over the genesis of the Sonnets: to what extent are they autobiographical? What is the nature of the 'love', strongly expressed, between the 'poet', the 'youth' and the 'Dark Lady'? Can they, apart from the poet, be identified? Who is the 'rival poet'? When were the Sonnets written and in what order? What were the circumstances surrounding their publication?
