To celebrate the 85th anniversary of one of beloved films ever to light up the silver screen, Dynamite is teaming with Warner Bros. Discovery on THE WIZARD OF OZ, a brand-new graphic novel adaptation of the legendary cinematic treasure! Written and illustrated by the wickedly talented SOO LEE (Disney Villains: Maleficent, ThunderCats: Cheetara), readers will be stunned and delighted by this bold reimagining of the classic film, transporting readers over the rainbow to the strange and wonderful land of Oz, alongside Dorothy, a little girl from Kansas, and her little dog, Toto! Dorothy wishes there was more to her boring, humdrum life on her family farm. Little does she know, her wish will come true... Dorothy and Toto are shisked away by a terrifying tornado, to a magical world full of wonderful copanions and hideous monsters, where their only hope to return home is following the Yellow Brick Road to Emerald City, and seeking help from the all-knowing Wizard of Oz! They meet friends along the way - the Tin Woodman! The Scarecrow! The Cowardly Lion! - all with their own reasons to seek the Wizard, but the WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST is determined to stop the team from reaching the Emerald City, and stealing Dorothy's magical Ruby Red Slippers, which may hold the secret to everything! Included in this graphic novel adaptation are deleted movie scenes. THE WIZARD OF OZ is an enduring saga of friendship, bravery, and the search for belonging that captivates readers of all ages - and this fall, Dynamite and Warner Bros. Discovery invite everyone to rediscover the wonder that lies just over the rainbow!
