Coraline the graphic novel

Ohio artist turns to home for inspiration

WKSU's Jeff St. Clair reports
Artist P. Craig Russell and his graphic novel version of Neil Gaiman's Coraline
Artist P. Craig Russell and his graphic novel version of Neil Gaiman's Coraline
Morning Edition Host Jeff St. Clair

Coraline is the story of a gutsy girl who becomes trapped in a parallel world behind the walls of an old mansion. When author Neil Gaiman wanted a graphic novel version of his story, he turned to Ohio artist P. Craig Russell. Russell's version of Coraline adds another page of history to a Kent landmark.

This story was extremely interesting to me as our son, Mike Walters who has a special effects studio in California, had P. Craig Russell as an art instructor at Kent State Univ. I got to meet Mr. Russell at a book signing a while back at the Black Squirrel gallery and bought a couple of his
books to send to my son. It was a very pleasant surprise for him as he remembers Russell's class very well.

Thanks for the story and interview.
