I’ve read the first and second adaptations. Young’s art is worth it all by itself. But the material is very faithfully adapted.

I’d still recommend checking them out.

If I’d learned as a kid that I could buy comics of these Oz books as an adult…I’d never have believed it. Amazing world.

The art is by Skottie Young and the adaptations are done by Eric Shanower. They’re great! They’ve been released as 8-part series for several years — the first three books have been compiled into graphic novels, and they’re midway through the 4th book. It’s a delightful romp through Oz that stays true to the story of what Baum gave us (Shanower is very faithful in a good way), but Young’s art is so different and lovely. I’d definitely check them out.

Loved it. It was more of what I was expecting from Maguire’s book.

There’s not much I haven’t done for my Oz fix. Except read all the original Baum books, obviously.
