Now arriving in Kansas (and everywhere else): a long-hidden treasure from the Land of Oz. In 1904 L. Frank Baum, creator of The Wizard of Oz, wrote a story specifically for the Sunday color comic sections to promote his second Oz book. These pages, illustrated by comic pioneer Walt McDougall, ran for 26 weeks and feature some of the most innovative comic strip layouts of the era. In that same year, a second Oz Sunday feature appeared, Scarecrow and Tinman, by famed Wizard of Oz illustrator W.W. Denslow. From the publisher of the magnificent, widely- acclaimed Little Nemo deluxe archival reprints, this sumptuous volume includes the complete run of both of these fantasy series, reprinted for the first time in the original colors and in full broadsheet size. The book also features additional Denslow comics 1901-03, such as Billy Bounce (the first superhero of the comics) as well as beautiful comic features from McDougall and Oz illustrator John R. Neill. This book is full of rarely seen comic gems a must-have for all Oz fans and collectors of classic comic strips. 16 x 18 inches. Hardcover, color.
