L. Frank Baum's The  Wizard of Oz: The Graphic Novel

L. Baum (2005), 175 pages

Category: Classic, Graphic Novel
A modern retelling of the Wizard of Oz story, this graphic novel updates the characters from the classic tale while keeping the adventure intact. Fans of the original tale or the movie will recognize the plot, and enjoy the new twists to the story, all told using eye-catching black and white graphic illustrations. This is the story of Dorothy and Toto, who are whisked away from Aunty Em's home in the city, not a farm, but still end up in Oz, and venture into this new land with characters like the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion.
