Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz: The Complete Comic Strip Saga 1904-1905. For the first time since their original newspaper publications, all of L. 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.
- Also available directly from the publishers, Sunday Press Books.
The Scarecrow and the Tin-Man of Oz by W. W. Denslow. For the first time, all of W. W. Denslow's stories about the Scarecrow and the Tin-Man are collected in one volume, with the original illustrations. Includes the "Denslow's Scarecrow and Tin-Man" comic page stories and the Denslow's Scarecrow and Tin-Man picture book. (No, this isn't really considered to be an "official" Oz book, but as illustrator of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Denslow is a major player in the history of the Oz books. And this collection does represent the earliest Oz stories not written by Baum.)
The Denslow Picture Book Treasury by W. W. Denslow. For the first time, all eighteen of W. W. Denslow's picture books, including Denslow's Scarecrow and Tin Man, are collected in one volume, with reproductions of all of the illustrations in color.
The Royal Book of Oz by Ruth Plumly Thompson (originally attributed to L. Frank Baum), illustrated by John R. Neill. The Scarecrow investigates his family tree — only to find that he's a king! Trouble is, he doesn't want the job. Can he overcome the plans of the evil princes and find his way back to Oz?
