Cover art drawn by J. Scott Campbell and colored by Nei Ruffino for Zenescope Entertainment’s Oz. The illustration features the Wicked Witch, Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Glinda the Good Witch (I’m assuming), and Dorothy Gale.
Dorothy Gale and other iconic characters from The Wizard of Oz receive a dark, edgy makeover and reimagining in Zenescope Entertainment’s Oz, a new comic-book series launching in July that explores the fourth and final realm of power hinted at over the years in the company’s long-running Grimm Fairy Tales title.
Since it debuted Grimm in 2005, Zenescope writers and artists have twisted and turned a variety of recognizable characters, from Alice to Red Riding Hood to Peter Pan, to create a vast universe encompassing Earth but also the worlds of Neverland, Wonderland and Myst.
Featuring the art team of Rolando Neto, Glauber Matos and Ulises Grostieta,
the first issue sees the witches of Oz on the hunt for the Veridian Scepter, a lost mystical weapon that’s tied to the Emerald City and the green life-force power prevalent through all the fairy-tale realms.
