The Complete Annotated Oz Squad
Often imitated, never duplicated, Oz Squad is the first and best comic book inspired by the classic Wizard of Oz series of books by L. Frank Baum. This collection is the first-ever edition to include every single issue, including the beloved Little Oz Squad Special. It is the ultimate collection and it comes with notes and annotations by the author, explaining some of the deeper mysteries and sillier aspects of the series. This edition features cover art by noted illustrator and Oz Historian David Lee Ingersoll. Alternately loved and reviled by fans, scrupulously researched by the author, this edition stands as the ultimate collection.

Gross, gross, gross.

This had a ton of potential. The opening arc is great but then it meanders with a time travel story and the art is just all over the place.

What an incredibly weird, dark, and at times psychedelic romp through Oz. I am a fan of all things Oz and have read a ton, but this one is probably the weirdest and most violent, although those aren't bad things. It has a very American counter culture feel to, something that feels like it strongly belongs to the 90's.
Was it flawed? Oh yes. The art made it some times hard to follow, compounded by the low quality of this printing. You could tell the series had a few false starts and never truly got going. But those hints and sub plots that never get a chance to have make it fully to the pages are what makes this so endearing.

Art was very inconsistent. Change of artist turned the Scarecrow from depressed emo to silly cartoon character. At times it was hard to tell some of the characters apart.
Story was jumpy and incomplete. The conclusion to one part was missing due to change in publisher.
Overall it was an interesting concept that suffered from poor planning, editing, and Independent comic book lack of resources.
