Jinjur’s Quest! A 3 issue journey into General Jinjur’s past, present and future all while Ozma must find a way to unite the lands of Oz against the Nome King! This is a 40 page double sized issue #2! Issue #1 is also available!
Dorothy Gale, and her horse Toto, fell into Oz through a mysterious twister that swept through her home in Kansas. As her barn crashed to earth, it landed on the reigning Witch of the East. The munchkins granted Dorothy the use of the East’s Ruby pistols and spurs and sent her on her way to the Emerald City, far down the Yellow Brick Road.
The Road, built of gold bricks, quickly disappeared however, and Dorothy was lost in Oz for over three years. Upon finding a brick in the Oz desert, Dorothy and Toto decide to take one last journey to find the Wizard that can supposedly send her home.
Our story follows much of what you remember as the story of Oz, Dorothy and the Emerald City, but while we pay homage to L. Frank Baum and his vision, we have overlapped his stories and created our own twists while maintaining the themes and ideals of Baum’s creation.
This story was created from a place of love and respect for Baum’s work, and has found a place among even the most strict and devoted classic Oz enthusiasts. We are invited year after year as guests of Oz-Stravaganza where the Wicked West has garnered strong connections within the Oz community, including a forward in Volume 1 written by a Baum relative, Marc Baum.
Action. Adventure. Magic and a little steampunk. All of these things exist within the pages of the Wicked West, and we hope you’ll join us for the new journey we call Jinjur’s Quest!
