A fun new take on a classic novel!
19 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback
A glance will tell you that the artwork in this adaptation is gorgeous to look at -- that the appealing character designs, bold layouts, saturated blacks and expressive style will be pleasing to page through. What's less obvious but just as true is that this is, in fact, as faithful and engrossing an adaptation as you could ask for in 144 pages. Cavallaro managed to condense "Oz" without losing the details, pacing or flavor of the original -- I hope he signs on for more projects with Puffin Graphics, as this was a delight to read!

Updated Art Adds Fun to Classic Tale
3 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Puffin Graphic Novel of L.Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz" blends modern artistic elements with the familiar story. Despite the modernization, a good amount of Baum;s original story remains in tact. A fun read, it is too bad it couldn't be in color.

An Interesting Interpretation
21 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
This retelling of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was easy to follow and pretty true to the original novel. The art was simple but very modern and beautiful to look at. The characters were well developed, but quickly introduced. You meet all three of Dorothy's friends within the first thirty pages or so.
Well done and fun to look at, this graphic novel makes a great addition to any Oz collector's book shelf.
