Description
One of comic art’s most respected and pioneering artists, well known for his opera adaptations and beautiful fantasy work, P. Craig Russell retells Oscar Wilde’s famous fairy tales in a series of landmark volumes. In The Selfish Giant’, the eponymous creature kicks a bunch of frolicking youngsters out of his garden, only to find that frosty winter moves in to take their place. ‘The Star Child’ depicts a beautiful but mean, terribly vain boy who becomes physically repulsive when he rebuffs a ragged beggar with a hidden identity… Artistic talent meets literary genius – magical.’
