Yeah, yeah. We get your intellectual outrage. blah. The comics are intended to spark an interest in Shakespeare, not replace his work. It sounds to me like the kids these are intended for would either get very little out of reading Shakespeare (due to their lack of interest), or wouldn't read him at all.

But then this attitude seems to be a commonplace - 'If Ithink Dylan is greater than Keats then Dylan is greater than Keats."
So "Dylan is greater than Keats" is just some crackpot's dissenting opinion, but "Keats is greater than Dylan" is an objectively established fact? Who do you think you are?
