Eric Shanower (w & a)
In the marvelous Land of Oz, magic is always around the next corner. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and their many Oz friends can't stop plunging into one adventure after another. Come journey over the rainbow to help save Oz from the Wicked Witch of the South, to ride an enchanted whirlpool that leads to a hidden island, to explore the spooky Great Gray Gillikin Swamp, to prevent a war between dragons and wood-nymphs, and to soar in an emerald unicorn to the frozen land of the mysterious Ice King. Wonder and magic abound in five full-color stories, The Enchanted Apples of Oz, The Secret Island of Oz, The Ice King of Oz, The Forgotten Forest of Oz, and The Blue Witch of Oz, by award-winning cartoonist Eric Shanower, collected here for the first time in one volume. This special volume also contains over 70 pages of sketches and other bonus material from Shanower. L. Frank Baum's Land of Oz lives again in stories that Booklist calls 'well-written' and 'charming' by 'the superbly talented Shanower.' |
