Travelers down the Yellow Brick Road have a new stop to make—The Patchwork Girl of Oz has been lovingly stitched into a dazzling new graphic novel series with the first volume available now from Image Comics.
Adapted from one of L. Frank Baum’s most beloved Oz tales and illustrated by Oddly Normal creator Otis Frampton, this enchanting reimagining is bursting with heart, brains, courage—and magic enough to delight readers young and old (and their little dogs, too).
With the Wicked sequel film just over the rainbow, there’s never been a better time to revisit the magical land of Oz in all its quirky, colorful glory. Fans eager for more stories beyond just Elphaba and Glinda’s will find The Patchwork Girl of Oz a perfect companion piece—offering a fresh journey through Baum’s whimsical world, filled with offbeat heroes, unexpected twists, and that unmistakable Ozian charm.
In a press release from Image Comics, Frampton said about the series:
“L. Frank Baum and his ‘wonder stories’ have been a huge influence on me and my work, and adapting an Oz book into a graphic novel has been a dream of mine since I first started making comics. The Patchwork Girl of Oz is one of Baum’s best stories and I hope that readers of all ages will enjoy seeing his amazing characters come to life in this new series.”
In The Patchwork Girl of Oz, readers join Ojo the Unlucky and his newfound friend, Scraps—the exuberant and unpredictable Patchwork Girl—on an epic quest to find the magical ingredients needed to free Ojo’s uncle from a wicked spell. Along the way, they encounter an array of oddball characters, face perilous challenges, and uncover the deep mysteries of Oz!
This spellbinding graphic novelization of the classic children’s novel will transport readers to a world where anything is possible, and every patch tells a story…
