Darn it I wish I could had met my friend Joe a few months earlier. I'd be the owner of 90-95% of the art then! Sigh! I never owned this book I was short on $$. When it came out & was long gone by the time I went back to buy it. Sigh! So it's now to me even a bigger honor now. To be working on a personal project with Roy! Who woulda thunk it huh? As a boy/teen one day I'd be working on anything withe The Roy Thomas!! As we'll as be friends with John Romita SR, Herb Trimpe, Marie Severin, Joe Sinnott, Rich Buckler & Frank Brunner. Knew Gene Colon & Dave Cockrum too before we lost them! Nuff Said Pretty Awesome huh?!!Mike Mikulovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426364090992151914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-5067646638935185192012-11-28T11:22:49.303-05:002012-11-28T11:22:49.303-05:00Great post, I've been meaning to read this for...Great post, I've been meaning to read this for a while! Here's a question you may be able to answer - I heard that Buscema was basically given a plot, or maybe even plotted it himself, and drew it without a full script. The only catch? He hadn't seen the movie since it was first released in 1939 and re-created it all from memory. Is this true? If so, it's a magnificent achievement on his end.Ian Millerhttp://universex259.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-30875919648400599212012-11-26T11:20:13.465-05:002012-11-26T11:20:13.465-05:00Many thanks for this -- I remember it fondly!Many thanks for this -- I remember it fondly!Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-53082640534421447982012-11-22T09:38:36.095-05:002012-11-22T09:38:36.095-05:00We have collected Oz books and memorobilia for our...We have collected Oz books and memorobilia for our little girl since she first showed an affinity for the "Oz"-verse when she was a toddler. I was lucky enough to snag a pristine copy of this adaptation as well as its sequel, "The Marvelous Land of Oz" many years ago (our daughter just turned 14, and she has a pretty extensice Oz collection). How'z about posting some of the other great DC Treasury editions that haven't been republished? SUPERMAN v. WONDER WOMAN, THE FLASH, SHAZAM!, etc. I would love it!Professor Jennesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706133620371750735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-7795105450185134762012-11-22T08:59:09.704-05:002012-11-22T08:59:09.704-05:00Ok Groovster you got me!

He owned everything but it's cover & the splashes I believe. Beautiful book. Funny my memory of this story & espically the Tinman. Got warped after reading a SF novel Weird Heroes with Doc Phoenix in the Oz Fact by I believe Ted White & Marv Wolfman. Doc Phoenix the man who enters the mind. I'd love to see u feature it here. But you'll have to find a really beat up copy.<br /><br />To beable to scan the really beautiful artwork by Stephen Fabian.
