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.
A magical tome transports three adolescents and the obligatory dog to the land of Oz, several years after Dorothy’s jaunt. The land is now dark and foreboding. Evil rules in the form of the Nome King. The original heroes are under his thrall. Writers Stuart Kerr and Ralph Griffith extrapolate from Frank L. Baum’s concepts, introducing new, fantastic creatures, and endowing them with much of the charm of the original stories. Much care and thought has gone into this classically styled fairy tale, which is suitable for young and old kids alike. I
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.
A RARE EXCLUSIVE THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN MASS MARKET OUTLETS AND COULD ONLY BE FOUND IN COMIC BOOK SPECIALTY STORES!
