Adventures in Oz

In 2006, IDW launched Adventures in Oz, a comic series written and drawn by Eric Shanower that adapts L. Frank Baum’s original Oz novels with fidelity and charm. Though only a single issue was published, it stands as a lovingly crafted, faithful visual interpretation of Baum’s world, showcasing Shanower’s deep affection for the source material. This series matters as a concise, artist-driven tribute to classic Oz, offering a glimpse of what a more extensive adaptation might have been.
