Captive Hearts of Oz

A four-issue miniseries from Seven Seas Entertainment (2017–2018), Captive Hearts of Oz reimagines L. Frank Baum's classic world as a romantic fantasy, focusing on a young woman named Dot who finds herself trapped in the magical land of Oz—but this Oz is ruled by a tyrannical Tin Man. Written by Meredith Finch and illustrated by Mingjue Helen Chen, the series strips the familiar story down to its emotional core, exploring themes of captivity, identity, and the longing for home. It stands out as a thoughtful, character-driven take on a beloved mythos, offering a fresh perspective for readers seeking a more intimate adventure.
