Frank Baum's newspaper comic pages are collected in their original form, at full size, in color. This book also collects W. W. Denslow's competing comic, "Denslow's Scarecrow and the Tin-Man," plus other early Oz comics and works by "Queer Visitors" artist Walt MacDougall, Denslow, and even John R. Neill. This is an important, historic collection of early Oz and comic materials.
