Oz

In the mid-1990s, Caliber Press took readers beyond the yellow brick road with this dark, twenty-issue comic series. Writers Ralph Griffith and Stuart Kerr, alongside artists Bill Bryan and Tim Holtrop, reimagined L. Frank Baum's Oz as a mature, often unsettling fantasy landscape. It stands as a significant early example of the grim revisionist fairy tale trend in independent comics, predating many more famous deconstructions of childhood classics.
