Coping with Immortality

Posted on April 6, 2022 by Nathan

We’re up to the 1978 Oziana, with a cover by Bill Eubank that appears to be partially based on a John R. Neill illustration from Kabumpo in Oz. Then there’s an Oz-E-Gag by Eubank, comparing The Wizard of Oz to … Continue reading →

Standing Tall on the Wizard’s Dreams

Posted on March 23, 2022 by Nathan

Magical Art Imitates Life

Posted on October 7, 2020 by Nathan
