They were new stories founded on the Oz characters and concepts created by L. I wrote and drew 5 Oz GNs published by First Comics, 1986-1988. A minor correction, however: Adventures in Oz from IDW wasn’t the third publication of my Oz graphic novel series. The Beat Herself, one of the first things you said to me back when we met face-to-face for the first time back in 19mumblemumble was “Udge, budge, go to Mudge.” Impressive.Įd Catto, maybe as a Mad Magazine-style spoof–yeah, that could work. And just this past weekend at Winkie Con 2012 I won the Research Table Non-fiction prize for my essay “The Elephants of Oz.” It doesn’t look like I’ll ever get out of Oz altogether. I’ve also drawn covers for IDW’s current Dorothy of Oz Prequel series.
My Forgotten Forest of Oz just came out in a treasury edition from IDW.
It’s been very gratifying to have this current Marvel series win awards and become a bestseller. I have, indeed, worked on one Oz project or another, drawing or writing or both, for the entirety of my professional career. I’m fortunate to be part of this great team. Skottie Young has been the artist for all of them, and our colorist has been Jean-Francois Beaulieu and our letterer Jeff Eckleberry. Matt Jeske, you’re right that I’ve written all the current Oz comic adaptations for Marvel. There are forty books in the “official” series, but who knows at this point whether Marvel will adapt them all?
The Wizard returns to Oz in the fourth Oz book, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz. Dorothy takes her second trip to Oz in the third Oz book, Ozma of Oz. I prefer Books of Wonder’s.Ĭhris Duffy, The Marvelous Land of Oz was certainly a sequel, whether or not Dorothy was a featured character rather than merely being mentioned a couple times. The current edition of Road offered by the Bradford Exchange also features colored stock like the original edition, but the printing of the illustrations is muddy. Torsten, Books of Wonder’s Oz reprints are some of the best of the many editions recently in print. But those things are what readers bring, not what the author intended. Many people have thrust their own interpretations onto The Wizard of Oz and that’s fine for them if they want to play that way. Frank Baum didn’t write the Oz books as political metaphors.
