A bold, breathtaking expansion of L. Frank Baum’s timeless world, reimagined by some of today’s greatest storytellers.
In this captivating first volume, Tip embarks on a transformative journey through the Land of OZ, uncovering the truth about his origins and the magic within him. As he sets out on a wild adventure, he encounters both familiar faces—like the Tin Woodman—and new characters and locations like H.M. Wogglebug, T.E. and Fiddlestick Forest.
Through thrilling twists and unexpected revelations, Tip unravels the mystery of his birth and discovers his true identity and destiny. Steeped in rich lore and imaginative storytelling, this reimagined OZ adventure expands the universe L. Frank Baum created, blending nostalgia with fresh perspectives for fantasy lovers and longtime OZ fans alike.
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
