A bold, breathtaking expansion of L. Frank Baum’s timeless world, reimagined by some of today’s greatest storytellers.
For over a century, the world has only seen a fraction of OZ. You know the yellow brick road, the Emerald City, and Dorothy’s journey — but that’s a small sliver of what truly lies beyond.
Acclaimed writer Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Sixth Gun) alongside OZ enthusiast and producer Larry King, legendary artist Mike Deodato, Jr. (Expecting the Unexpected, Avengers), and the visionary teams at AWA Studios, Shaggyman Productions, and Alchemation, have come together to craft a gripping, vast, and unexpected OZ adventure.
Overseen by a team of top OZ historians, this saga stays true to Baum’s vision while exploring uncharted regions, new characters, and thrilling lore.
“Every moment with a book is precious and I was dazzled by the first instalment in the Ultimate Oz Universe, celebrating the legacy of Baum’s genius and the heritage of colour, unique characters and the triumph of goodness. I am more committed than ever to shining a light on people and creators who uplift others. It’s wonderful to see the love & attention AWA and Larry King and my close friend Kevin McCollum have lavished on the Baum books so few people know – and that they are building on Baum’s legacy with a new canon of stories like the one you have in your hands.” — Elton John
