Like you, we are passionate about the graphical novel format, and we know how much quality means to you. That's why we only employ top-flight artists to create the full-colour artwork that captures all of the atmosphere, emotion and excitement of the original classical works . We want to to give you a thoroughly absorbing reading experience. On top of that, research shows that the complex Elizabethan language used by Shakespeare stops many people from even starting to enjoy his masterful works. So we came up with the solution! Our titles are available in different text versions, all using the same wonderful full colour artwork.

For Shakespeare titles, this is the full, original script - just as the bard intended. This version is ideal for purists, students and for readers who want to experience the unaltered text. For non-Shakespeare titles; this version uses as much of the original dialogue as possible within the confines of the book format. For our Shakespeare titles only, we take the original script and "convert" it into modern English, verse-for-verse, whilst retaining the full essence of the play. If you've ever wanted to fully appreciate the works of Shakespeare but find the original language rather cryptic then this is the version for you! (hint: this version is ideal for students who need help understanding the original text) A revolution in Graphical Novels! We take the dialogue and reduce it to as few words as possible but still retain the essence of the story. This version allows readers to enter into and enjoy the stories quickly, and as the word balloons are smaller it allows the fullest appreciation of our stunning artwork.
