OZ SQUAD #1 COMIC BOOK SPECIAL
RARE and OUT OF PRINT.
HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEM!
Oz Squad is a comic book updating of L. Frank Baum's Land of Oz series. In much th same way WICKED created a different way of looking at characters that we grew up with. This series predated Wicked by a number of years.
Its premise is that Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion are now part of "Gale Force", a Mission Impossible type organization working to protect Oz from all manner of bizarre threats. Created and written by Steve Ahlquist, the series is complex and clever, playing with the mythology that Baum had created in the original children's books and updating it for a more grown up audience.
What is amazing about this series is that all the original stories did take place as the backstory and the explanation of how much darker the tone in this contemporary Land of Oz was the influence of the Earth seeping in and corrupting the wonderful world it was.
In which we learn that Dorothy had an relationship with JFK and the Powers That Be was looking the other way on November 22nd, 1963 so the reality of what happened that day is always in flux. In the world of Oz Squad, his assassination was the work of Baba Yaga. And three hobos. And a werewolf.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
