Oz Squad

Encyclopedia : O : OZ : OZS : Oz Squad



 

Oz Squad is a comic book updating of L. Frank Baum's Land of Oz series. Its premise is that Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion are now part of "Gale Force", a [[Mission: Impossible|Mission Impossible]] type organization working to protect Oz from all manner of bizarre threats. Created and written by Steve Ahlquist, the series is complex and clever, playing with the mythology that Baum had created in the original children's books and updating it for a more adult audience. The original series ran for ten issues from 1991-1996. Andrew Murphy illustrated the first four issues, Terry Loh the last six, and Mike Sagara illustrated the Little Oz Squad special. Current episodes of the series are being written by Ahlquist and illustrated by David Lee Ingersoll.
