Marvel Comics adapted several of L. Frank Baum’s Oz novels into graphic novel format between 2010 and 2014. The series includes The Marvelous Land of Oz, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, and The Emerald City of Oz, each retelling Baum’s original stories with full-color comic art. These adaptations were part of Marvel’s broader effort to bring classic literature to comics readers.
The graphic novels keep the core stories intact while using the visual medium to show the strange and colorful world of Oz in new ways. Characters like Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and Ozma appear in detailed illustrations that capture both the whimsy and the danger of Baum’s original books. For readers who already know the stories, the Marvel versions offer a fresh perspective, and for newcomers, they provide an accessible way into the Oz universe.
