---

Dick Martin (1927 – 1990) was an artist from Chicago who illustrated a number of books related to The Oz books series, as well as many other children's books.

He was co-author of The Oz Scrapbook (1977) and was an active Oz fan, serving as the International Wizard of Oz Club as president, vice-president, director, and editor of its newsletter, The Baum Bugle.

Some time in the 1960s, he designed new opening titles for His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz in which he incorrectly proclaimed that L. Frank Baum was the director. These title cards appear on all current releases of the film, as the originals do not survive.

Martin was openly gay.
