OFF ON THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD: a review.
OZ: The Manga #1
David Hutchison, adaptation and art
Antarctic Press
32 pages
$2.99
This book is all about the art. Hutchison's manga style is subtle at times, outright at others. The visual storytelling is magnificent; that's one thing I like about manga: the style of panels and how they interact on the page. In terms of story, there's not much that's original. It's a bit more condensed than the movie -- as one would expect -- and doesn't stray off the original path too much. But sometimes it's better to find a new path than to follow ones that have been paved.
