Oz Squad

In the mid-1990s, Patchwork Press published Oz Squad, a seven-issue comic series that reimagined L. Frank Baum's classic Land of Oz as a gritty, modern-day setting. Written primarily by Steven Ahlquist with art by Terry Y. Loh, Andrew Murphy, and Terry Loh, the series follows Dorothy Gale and her companions as they operate as a covert government strike team. This offbeat, darkly humorous take stands out as a cult curiosity of the '90s indie comics boom, blending nostalgia with the decade's edgy, deconstructionist trend.
