Oz-story Magazine

Oz-story Magazine

Oz-story Magazine was an annual periodical devoted to the literature and art of Oz, the fantasy land created by L. Frank Baum.[1][2][3] It was published in six volumes between 1995 and 2000.

Oz-story was published by Hungry Tiger Press, and edited by David Maxine; he was assisted by Eric Shanower, who was responsible for a significant share of the artwork in the volumes. Oz-story printed a variety of Oz-related features and illustrations, by writers and artists closely associated with the Oz mythos — Baum, Ruth Plumly Thompson, W. W. Denslow, John R. Neill, Jack Snow, Rachel Cosgrove Payes, and many others — including modern contemporaries like Shanower and Edward Einhorn.

The most notable single work in the six volumes of Oz-story was arguably Eloise Jarvis McGraw's novel The Rundelstone of Oz, never previously published, which appeared in the sixth and final volume. Rare Baum novels were reprinted in Oz-story:

  • Sam Steele's Adventures on Land and Sea in No. 1
  • Policeman Bluejay in No. 2
  • The Flying Girl in No. 3
  • Daughters of Destiny in No. 4
  • The Woggle-Bug Book in No. 5
  • Annabel in No. 6.

Oz-story generally earned high praise from critics and reviewers during its limited existence.
