More volumes in the Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde series. Sidelights. Illustrator and graphic novelist P. Craig Russell has blended a love of classical opera with artwork noted for its lush line, attention to detail, and classical themes to create graphic-novel adaptations of musical works ranging from The Magic Flute by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to Richard Strauss's Salomé. Russell's two-volume treatment of Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung trilogy was a massive five-year project of love that garnered Russell an Eisner Award and further critical acclaim. Additionally, his adaptations of fairy tales by nineteenth-century Irish writer Oscar Wilde and of stories by Rudyard Kipling have won awards and a readership that stretches beyond the usual comic-book audience. Russell has also contributed artwork to more typical superhero comic books, starting out with Marvel Comics on "Batman" and "Dr. Strange." "So many stories, so many pictures, so few hours in the day," Russell once commented. From Superheroes to Sopranos. Born in Ohio in 1951, Russell attended the University of Cincinnati, where he earned a B.F.A. in painting and illustration in 1974. By this time he was already contributing artwork to Marvel Comics, working on the Dr. Strange Annual as well as the "Killraven" comic books. Both titles deal in fantasy worlds; in "Killraven" he illustrated the eponymous gladiator who does battle with the Martians in a world inspired by that of H. G. Wells in War of the Worlds. He also inked various "Batman" episodes in the early 1970s. Working for Eclipse Comics, Russell began to turn his attention to artistic themes with "Dance on a Razor's Edge," a short story about the ritual suicide of Japanese writer Yukio Mishima.
