The P. Craig Russell Library of Opera Adaptations #3

This third volume in NBM's series collects P. Craig Russell's lush graphic adaptations of four operatic works: Debussy's Pelleas & Melisande, Richard Strauss's Salome, the lesser-known Ein Heldentraum, and Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana. Russell's intricate, decorative linework and sensitive storytelling bring these dramatic scores to visual life, making complex operatic narratives accessible to comics readers while honoring the source material. The volume showcases his mature style and deep affinity for adapting classical music into sequential art.
