Good stories get told again and again in different ways. It might just be one of those strange or funny things you notice one day and mention to your friends, that becomes a little story they pass on to others. Or, it could be one of those great epics that start as an idea, which becomes a book or a comic, a film or a computer game. The best stories last and, as time passes, the way they're told changes to suit each new audience.
'The Picture of Dorian Gray' is one of those stories. A story of a man who wanted every pleasure life could offer, and gave up his soul to have them all.
Author Oisín Mc Gann discusses the graphic novel based on “The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde. (Adapted by Ian Edginton, illustrated by Ian Cubard, published by Self Made Hero.)
