4.0 out of 5 stars
Good rendering of harsh stories,
By wiredweird "wiredweird" (Earth, or somewhere nearby) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: The Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde, Vol. 4: The Devoted Friend & The Nightingale and the Rose (Paperback)
P. Craig Russell is one of the most literate comic artists now active. He is best known for his opera adaptations, but he goes after a different kind of story here.
These are two of Wilde's darker fairy tales, the kind that are meant for adult readers. There's nothing "adult" here, but both stories depict loss and death, and sacrifices wasted. They're good as short stories, and Russell's artwork puts very good faces on them. The depictions exaggerate some characters, but just enough to support Wilde's stories. There's something in this book for many different readers: good visual storytelling, fairy tales for people who thought they were too old, and some of Wilde's lesser-known works. Just don't expect happy endings. //wiredweird
