Scan by Jared Davis Here we are, safe and sound, back in good old Oziana 1985. The cover has a drawing of the Nome King by Eric Shanower, which is kind of confusing, as I know Ruggedo appears in a … Continue reading →

Southern Hozpitality

Posted on January 12, 2016 by Nathan

Now we turn to the Quadling Country, literally the “little four” country. The name suggests that it’s the fourth of the main Oz countries to be united. It’s probably at least partially inspired by the Southern United States, which explains … Continue reading →

Bother the Law!

Posted on July 19, 2011 by Nathan
