Dynamite Wizard of Oz

A brand new comics adaptation of the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie script is forthcoming from Dynamite Entertainment. Soo Lee adapts the story and draws the full-color art for a 128-page version of The Wizard of Oz that presents some unexpected visual surprises.

The publisher, Dynamite, launches a Kickstarter campaign soon. Click here for that.

One of my paintings will grace the cover of this new Wizard of Oz graphic novel. The three other covers to choose from are by Soo Lee (who did the interior art), Alex Ross, and Jae Lee.

I'd been wondering when this project would be published. Dynamite announced it as forthcoming some time ago, but then the largest North American comics distributor, Diamond, went into bankruptcy, throwing the US comics industry into commotion and threatening lots of comics publishers, including Dynamite.

So I'm glad to see this announced for publication at last. From the material I've seen, it's a fresh and unusual take on the 1939 MGM Wizard of Oz movie.

Elisabeth I see yours is the only cover without the witch. You're just too kind, Eric. :) I want all of them! Do you know if the other covers will be in the back of the book? Some publishers do that sometimes.

ETA: Oh, I take it back. The witch is just really tiny on your cover.
