WIZARD OF OZ #1 COMIC BOOK. ROMANCE IN RAGS
STARRING THE SCARECROW AND SCRAPS
RARE and OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND FIRST ISSUE COLLECTOR'S ITEM FEATURING THE DARKER SIDE OF OZ!
Dark Oz 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.
Set in the world of OZ as it concentrates on Scarecrow and his tattered lover, Scraps. Set in the days when the Scarecrow was under the evil rule of the amulet, Scraps must decide which side to join.
Discovering their betrayal by Patchwork Girl, the Freedom Fighters launch a guerilla assault upon the Scarecrow’s barn. They unfortunately discover that the Scarecrow has built an army of his own through the magic of Magician Pipt. An army of straw golems stands Scarecrow and the Freedom Fighters, with Scraps caught in the middle.
Oz is based on the characters and “history” from the series of fourteen childrens books written by L. Frank Baum. Writers Ralph Griffith and Stuart Kerr created an updated and unique world, no longer whimsical, but still lots of fun. While the triple threat of Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man play prominent roles, Griffith and Kerr mined that magical country for the myriad of bizarre, yet endearing secondary characters which populate it. Beginning with a tribute to the original story, The Wizard of Oz.
A RARE EXCLUSIVE THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN MASS MARKET OUTLETS AND COULD ONLY BE FOUND IN COMIC BOOK SPECIALTY STORES!
