graphic novel - Romeo and Juliet

I've chosen "No Fear Shakespeare" to explore the Romeo and Juliet story.  Page 43 details the meeting of the two young lovers at a masquerade ball.  The illustrations are black, white and gray and the characters are drawn as homely people, not beautiful as one would envision teens in love.

The focal point on this page is the large drawing of Juliet outside of any panel.  Her face has a sweet expression, and yet the pen and ink illustrations give a rough edge to the drawing.  Romeo is illustrated with a mask, and is made to look more like Pinnochio with his long nose.  The text is completely edited from the original work.

As a whole, I found it to barely resemble Shakespeare.  The illustrations and text did nothing to draw me in or make me want to explore Shakespeare further.  In my opinion, the name of Shakespeare shouldn't even be in on the cover.
