This paper examines how Dave Morice’s Poetry Comics: an Animated Anthology transforms Shakespeare’s sonnets 18 and 130 into body horror, deconstructing the original meanings of the love poems. “Corporeal transgression”-body damage, mutation or infection-is often seen in body horror, and it is present in Morice’s cartoon poems. Particularly, the body horror image is achieved by fusing or hybridizing bodies from different species and revealing their internal organs. This body horror image separates romantic love language from grotesque visuals, creating a grotesque body effect. This grotesque body effect symbolizes openness to the world and endless expandability, and this poetry comic generates new, limitless meanings and possibilities for poetic analysis through broken gutters, fragmented poetic words and forms. The cohesive unity of Shakespeare’s sonnets 18 and 130, which centers on the theme of love and progresses toward concluding couplet, is deconstructed. Specifically, the inner structure of “eternal paradox” in sonnet 18 and “hierarchizing” in sonnet 130 are broken down, making body horror overwhelm all sincere love messages. Reborn as B-movie-style-body horror comics, the most “Shakespearean” and “Elizabethan” sonnets become a completely new creation.
