Oz

In the mid-1990s, Caliber Press launched this short-lived comic series, which reimagines L. Frank Baum's classic Land of Oz as a dark, adult-oriented fantasy. Written primarily by Ralph Griffith and Stuart Kerr, with moody, detailed artwork by Bill Bryan, this single-issue story strips away the whimsy of the original to explore a more sinister and gritty version of the magical realm. It stands as a notable example of the era's trend toward deconstructing beloved children's literature for mature readers.
