This is my monthly look at Previews Magazine to find all the comic book Oz stuff that Oz fans ought to know about. For a little more info on what this is all about and how to get this stuff, see this post.
These items are due to arrive in comic shops in April 2006.
This is a collection of five Eric Shanower Oz tales, 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. The regular collection is 258 pages long, while the signed and numbered edition has 70 extra pages of material. If you haven't got these Shanower stories, this is the perfect time and perfect way to get the whole set.- Adventures In Oz - Order Code: FEB06 3134 - $39.99
- Adventures In Oz Signed & Numbered - Order Code: FEB06 3135 - $75.00
I'll start this one with the usual warning about this book: it contains mature themes and language, and if you want your Oz to be innocent and sweet, this is not the book for you. This is a neat retelling of Oz in a fumetti format that features a Goth Dorothy finding a robot Toto and learning about her strange past during a visit to Oz. This is from Illusive Productions, and you can get these books through your local comic book store using the order codes listed below, or directly through their website.
