The Wizard of Oz is a timeless fantasy story known the world over. Lovecraft, and more notably Cthulhu, have been in our nightmares for more than 100 years. Comic creators have been telling stories in these worlds since the creation of the comic book. I have always loved these universes for years, and that's what inspired me to create this anthology.

Why is this book going to be so awesome?
1. It's 145+ pages of glorious comics! - That's a massive amount of awesome comics about the characters we love from Oz and the monsters of the Cthulhu Mythos! The book also includes 10 poems created in the style of Lovecraft. We have 19 stories from over 50 creators.
2. It's gonna be in hardcover! - Yes, there is both a HARDCOVER and SOFTCOVER option.
3. Glossy art paper - Most books are printed in gloss lamination, trapping all the glorious line work under an ugly, gross, yellow film. This anthology is different. It's printed on glossy art paper, which means the ink shines on top of the paper and looks like it's shimmering, just like any other high-quality art book on the market today.
4. Our creators have credits from all of your favorite companies. Our creators have worked with SCOUT, MAD CAVE, IMAGE, SOURCE POINT, ANTARCTIC PRESS, and more!
