Royal Historian of Oz Comic Book Trailer

Coming from SLG Publishing, June 2010. The first issue of this comic will be priced at $1.00!!! No reason NOT to try it.

Frank Fizzle wishes his father would have just a single original idea, instead the Jasper Fizzle sees himself as the new Royal HIstorian of OZ as he insists on writing new OZ stories. When the failed writer discovers that Oz really exists, he makes an error in judgment that brands him a criminal in two worlds. Frank, may be doomed to pay for the sins of the father at the hands of the axe-wielding Tin-Man and the ghost of the Wicked Witch. Can Frank save the day and redeem the Fizzle family name, or will the drizzly ghost of the Wicked Witch of the West destroy them all?

@xephyr1000 I just found this comic in my local store today and it's actually nothing like that... it's more a lampooning of the fandom. I myself am working on a slightly darker novel that's a character profile on Ozma... but I wouldn't even consider this "slightly darker." The 3 companions talk just like the books really...

"doomed to pay for the sins of the father at the hands of the axe-wielding Tin-Man and the ghost of the Wicked Witch."

What's with the desire to turn the Land of Oz into nothing more than a pulp horror crime-drama? As an Oz Fan I find the art none-too-appealing and am not thrilled with the idea of turning Nick Chopper into some kind of "axe-wielding" maniac.
