Summary
How easy it is for innocence to be corrupted. This is the crux of the story of Dorian Gray, a young handsome man from London who gets seduced by the hedonism of the upper class and the ultra-wealthy. When eccentric artist Basil Hallward paints Dorian Gray, Basil and his wealthy friends are encapsulated with his beauty. Lord Wotton, a hedonistic aristocrat and one of Basil’s friends, introduces Dorian to a life of luxury and debauchery. A life without consequence. But realizing that his fleeting beauty is the only reason for his inclusion, Dorian Gray sells his soul and attains eternal youth, however the famed portrait now ages, injures and damages. But how far can a man go without his humanity? Set in Victorian England, this classic tale on corruption and consequence stuns with beautifully elegant artwork by Enrique Corominas.

Critics Review
“What is better than Oscar Wilde’s novel The Portrait of Dorian Gray? Not much, but Enrique Corominas’ fresh take on the classic story is set to level up the classic tale.” Collider
“Corominas’ Dorian Gray offers a brilliant meditation on beauty, creativity, and morality, using the painted page as a medium to expand on Wilde’s original story. Both fans of the original work and readers looking for a new approach to it will be drawn in by the gorgeous art and captivating story in this new iteration.” Booklist
“[Enrique Corominas’] luscious art brings the fin de siecle to delicious life. And the coda to his story is an original meta-textual touch that not only works but shows how thoughtful this reimagining is. The book, published by Titan Comics this September, is highly recommended.” The Oscar Wilde Society
