Wicked and Wizard of Oz fans rejoice - the Future of OZ starts here! Jump into a vast fantasy universe where beloved characters return, new heroes rise, and the magic of L. Frank Baum's imagination is more powerful than ever.

"Citizens of OZ, get ready -- there's another star in your midst." - People.com

The Lost Lands picks up right after the classic Wizard of Oz story ends. Developed in close collaboration with leading OZ historians, this bold new adventure invites readers to explore long-forgotten lands, unearth buried secrets, and reconnect with beloved characters through an authentic, fresh and richly illustrated lens.

"Every moment with a book is precious and I was dazzled by the first instalment in the Ultimate Oz Universe, celebrating the legacy of Baum's genius and the heritage of colour, unique characters and the triumph of goodness" -- Elton John

In this captivating graphic novel, you'll meet Tip who embarks on a transformative journey through the Lands of Oz, uncovering the truth about his origins and the magic within him. During his wild adventure, he encounters familiar faces -- like Dorothy and the Tin Woodman -- and meets new characters, like Hungry Tiger and H.M. Wogglebug, T.E., as he ventures through wonderous places like Fiddlestick Forest and Gillikin Country.

Through thrilling twists and unexpected turns, Tip unravels the mystery of his birth and discovers his true identity and destiny. Steeped in rich lore and imaginative storytelling, this Oz adventure is firmly rooted in Baum's OZ canon, blending nostalgia with fresh perspectives for fantasy lovers and longtime Oz fans alike.

The all-star creative team includes bestselling comic writer Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Sixth Gun), acclaimed writer, musician and producer Larry King, and legendary comic book artist Mike Deodato Jr. (Wonder Woman, The Amazing Spider-Man, Not All Robots) who bring OZ to to life with masterful storytelling and stunning visuals.

The Lost Lands is the must-have OZ event book of 2025.
