A fountain pen-stained harpooner, if that's your idea of a good time. Made in Canada. Wanted by comics authorities. Had Matter. Busy now.

Anyways, I'll put my reputation where my mouth is. Read my latest. Decide for yourself if I'm full of bulldada or not. Not all houses are haunted by the dead; or, be careful which house you run away to because it might have been waiting for you. www.amazon.com/My-Gifts-Are...

Marvel Treasury Edition: Ozma Of Oz (Unpublished) (1976)

Art by Alfredo Alcala

Colored by Eric Shanower for the Baum Bugle in Winter 1987

Marvel pulled the plug on this edition due to a combination of low sales on the first two books, as well copyright issues with the source material.  It’s a major bummer, because Roy Thomas (the writer) and Alfredo Alcala were both really into the project (note Alcala’s reverence to John R. Neill’s art as evidence), and were planning to plow ahead onto the other books (Thomas had already started writing his script for Dorothy and the Wizard).
