OZ. You think you know the whole story. You don't. What you've seen in the movies is only a
small percentage of the story. There is so much more to explore in the universe created by L. Frank Baum-so many regions to visit, so many fascinating characters to meet, so much history to learn, so many stories to tell. With Ultimate OZ Universe: The Lost Lands, writers Cullen Bunn and Larry King and artist Mike Deodato Jr. introduce you to a version of this amazing fantasy realm you have never seen before-a universe that is deeper, richer, and more exciting than you've ever imagined-through modern takes on the classic tales that reintroduce legacy characters-Dorothy, Toto, Tin Woodman, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion-and introduce a host of fascinating new characters who will quickly capture your heart-Jack Pumpkinhead, Princess Ozma, Glinda the Good, Tip, Sawhorse, and Hungry Tiger. A new chapter begins. The secrets of OZ await! Includes interactive elements and a foreword by music legend Elton John.
