No Fear Shakespeare Hamlet GN (2008) comic books 2008

1st printing. Art by Neil Babra. No Fear Shakespeare is a graphic novels series based on the translated texts of the plays found in "No Fear Shakespeare." The original No Fear series made Shakespeare's plays easier to read, but these dynamic visual adaptations are impossible to put down. Each book features an illustrated cast of characters, plot summaries, line-by-line translations of the original play, and illustrations that show the reader exactly what's happening in each scene, all of which makes the plot and characters even clearer than in the original No Fear Shakespeare books. Students can explore familial betrayals in Hamlet, Scottish dynastic struggles in Macbeth, or doomed love in Romeo & Juliet. Each title is illustrated in its own unique style, but all are distinctively offbeat, slightly funky, and appealing to teen readers. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 208 pages, B&W. Cover price $9.95.
