TAKE THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

I love these adaptations published by Marvel Comics about the original books by L. Frank Baum.

Without a doubt the creative team of, Eric Shanower writing and Scottie Young drawing, are the right choice to this wonderful task.

They did a perfect job showing the classic tale as L. Frank Baum would make it, if he would be in the comics' business nowadays.

If you are only familiar with the classic film (that by the way, it was my first contact with the OZ world), it will be an excellent experience to read this graphic novel, since you can appreciate the original story by Baum, only adapted in a graphic presentation.

Shanower is doing a masterful job taking the original texts of the prose novel and adaptating them into a comic book format without losing anything of the original tale.

Scottie born to illustrate stories like this one and I can't think of anybody else better suited to this task.

I am sure that projects like this one will be able to create a whole new generation of fans for the wonderful world of Oz along with charming quite again to the already fans of it.

Highly recommended for readers of all ages.

Weigh Up Out Of Books Oz: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Marvel's Oz Comics #1)

It was after finishing reading this comics adaptation of the beloved L. Frank Baum tale that I realized that Eric Shanower has earlier done well received Oz graphic novels. He was most suited for this new release from the Marvel Illustrated line of comics adaptations of classic literary works. But I came to read this graphic novel because of the work of Skottie Young.Youngs art, almost ephemeral and whimsical will carry you through Oz as if you are part of Dorothys party of odd friends. His art

*Book source ~ LibrarySo, a synopsis. Its the freakin Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Do I really need to recap this? Ok, I will. Dorothy lives with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em on a farm in Kansas. She has a dog named Toto. A tornado (called a cyclone here) comes along sweeping Dorothy and Toto to the Land of Oz where Dorothy spends her time making unusual friends and trying to get back to Kansas.First off, omg, the artwork is fantastic! Its so adorable and the colors are perfect. I loved it. The story

4.5 STARSWhat a wonderful adaptation of the original story of Oz.I have never read the books, but I have a lasting memory of the movie and this comic was so much better.They probably did a better job at adaptation the essence of the story, the colors and the endless possibilities of a fantasy world.I'm a huge fan of Skottie Young's work and as usual he did not disappoint. It was a wonderful mix of beautiful, fairy-like, creepy and monstrous. I loved it.Sometimes the story was going in round

I picked up this book solely for Skottie Young's art, and I was not disappointed.Having never actually read the Oz novels, I can't speak how this adaptation compares to the source material--though I get the impression it is pretty close. I don't have strong feelings on the story itself. There's a lot of childhood nostalgia associated with the film, but the books are their own thing in a lot of ways--darker, wilder, sillier. I had not problems with the story overall, and it was interesting to

I absolutely loved the graphics in this book, but I felt the diagolue was a bit forced. It was awkward and at times took away from the awesome imagery. I did like that this version of The Wizard of Oz followed L. Frank Baum's version and not the movie. I can see many children reading this and being surprised by how the story flows. I think this is a great way to reintroduce a classic to children that don't want to take the time to read the true story (BUT they really should read the original
