Wonderful work indeed!Creative Team:

Illustrator: Scottie Young
TAKE THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD
I love these adaptations published by Marvel Comics about the original books by L. Frank Baum.
Without a doubt the creative team of, Eric Shanower writing and Scottie Young drawing, are the right choice to this wonderful task.
They did a perfect job showing the classic tale as L. Frank Baum would make it, if he would be in the comics' business nowadays.
If you are only familiar with the classic film (that by the way, it was my first contact with the OZ world), it will be an excellent experience to read this graphic novel, since you can appreciate the original story by Baum, only adapted in a graphic presentation.
Shanower is doing a masterful job taking the original texts of the prose novel and adaptating them into a comic book format without losing anything of the original tale.
Scottie born to illustrate stories like this one and I can't think of anybody else better suited to this task.
I am sure that projects like this one will be able to create a whole new generation of fans for the wonderful world of Oz along with charming quite again to the already fans of it.
Highly recommended for readers of all ages.

It was after finishing reading this comics adaptation of the beloved L. Frank Baum tale that I realized that Eric Shanower has earlier done well received Oz graphic novels. He was most suited for this new release from the Marvel Illustrated line of comics adaptations of classic literary works. But I came to read this graphic novel because of the work of Skottie Young.Youngs art, almost ephemeral and whimsical will carry you through Oz as if you are part of Dorothys party of odd friends. His artIn comics, a successful adaptation is ridiculously difficult to pull off. Actually, amend that: in any medium, a successful adaptation is ridiculously difficult to pull off. A good adaptation requires the successful transposition of a story's essence from one medium to another in a way that, while not damaging the source, makes uses of the new medium's unique properties in a way that justifies the new product. And it doesn't matter if a story is being transferred from stage to film or from film
*Book source ~ LibrarySo, a synopsis. Its the freakin Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Do I really need to recap this? Ok, I will. Dorothy lives with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em on a farm in Kansas. She has a dog named Toto. A tornado (called a cyclone here) comes along sweeping Dorothy and Toto to the Land of Oz where Dorothy spends her time making unusual friends and trying to get back to Kansas.First off, omg, the artwork is fantastic! Its so adorable and the colors are perfect. I loved it. The story
My favorite comic book store is Atomic Comics in Mesa, right next to Bookman's. It can make for a fun but wallet-draining day to make a trip down there and stop at both stores. Last time I was at Atomic Comics, I picked up an introduction to this and the Joe Hill comic book series Locke & Key. They were part of the $1 collection on the wall, of introductions and special issues put out by publishers for a buck. After I read that, I knew I had to read the whole thing.At first, I thought the
I picked up this book solely for Skottie Young's art, and I was not disappointed.Having never actually read the Oz novels, I can't speak how this adaptation compares to the source material--though I get the impression it is pretty close. I don't have strong feelings on the story itself. There's a lot of childhood nostalgia associated with the film, but the books are their own thing in a lot of ways--darker, wilder, sillier. I had not problems with the story overall, and it was interesting to
The illustrators of this graphic novel did a nice job at holding to the original Baum story. There were silver shoes, enslaved flying monkeys and an allusion to Toto's ability to talk.The illustrations were tight and consistent. I really liked the creators' vision of the scarecrow and lion. They were modern, playful and the scarecrow was a touch haunting. The book jacket says it is a children's novel. However, my son thought the illustrations were rather frightening.Granted, he is three... I
Skottie Young makes this series for me! His illustrations and artistic interpretation of Oz are stunning! I will admit that for the first half of the book, I was slightly disinterested. The story of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz has never really spoken to me. The first half of the book was fairly in line with the movie which I have seen less than 5 times and again...doesn't really do much for me. However, the second half of the book was much more interesting in particular where the book plot and
