The second volume in a series of comic book adaptations of Wilde's tales, in paperback for the first time, Russell's full-colour graphic adaptations of Oscar Wilde's 'The Remarkable Rocket' and 'The Young King' are exquisitely spun tales for adults and children alike. In 'The Remarkable Rocket', a vain little rocket figures itself above all others and still manages to see glory in its dismal end. While 'The Young King' finds that his attempt to express affection towards his people only leads to alienation.
