Marvel just did a most marvellous job! They released The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in graphic novel form and I got my copy at Kinokuniya Orchard on Sunday! =)It's of my favourite films as a kid and do you know that film itself is already 70 years old. Yes, it was made in 1939 =) Nice colours for a film this old, isn't it? Considering it is one of the first full length films to be produced. And another well known fact, the popular classic song Over the Rainbow was written for this movie, and won itself the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
This graphic novel adaptaion is done by award winning scribe Eric Shanower and fan favorite artist Skottie Young. I loved the way its being presented, the way how it brings out a sense of joy and simplicity. Oh, the colours are just lovely, they bring out the exact moods required for each illustrated scene.
By the way, there's a cool sample sketchbook at Marvel for a preview Wizard Of Oz Sketchbook #1
Let's hum and sing along, ♪We're off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!♪ and join Dorothy, Toto, Lion, Tinman and Scarecrow on their magical adventure in the land of Oz =)
