icon_ukAnother comic unearthed from the depths of one of my longboxes is this, my only issue (as far as I recall) of Oz Squad, which came out back in 1991 from Brave New Words (No, I'd never heard of them either).
As you read this, remember that this predates "Wicked" by quite some time, and given how recently the Oz books had become public domain, it's actually a rather well thought out reimagning/updating.
I can guarantee that this won't be to all tastes, there are some VERY dodgy beats in this, and a couple of places where black humour becomes so pitch black it would cause most people (who would remember only the movie) some distinct squirming moments.
The first issue does a deal of scene-setting, and deals with Tik-Tok, who most folk probably only know through this.
After all, who couldn't trust a face like this?
Less that 10 pages from a 30 page issue.
( Be warned, some rather grim moments... )
