Very Marc Hempel / Teddy Kristiansen -like art from Culbard - not my cup of tea, but readable. (

I love Oscar Wilde and all his writing, but I don't think Edginton and Culbard add much to his novel. I was hoping for a graphic novel with wonderful illustrations and writing that captures the intent of Wilde. Instead, the graphics are fairly simplistic and the writing is just average. This is worth reading if you are an avid Oscar Wilde fan, but keep expectations to a minimum. (
