Experience the magic of Oz as you’ve never seen it before with this graphic novel adaptation of Gregory Maguire’s masterpiece Wicked- the first in a two-part series featuring gorgeous full-color illustrations by Scott Hampton. Like Dorothy when she crash-landed all those years ago- prepare to be swept into a new and colorful world. Elphaba was born with emerald-green skin-no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz- where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still- Elphaba is smart- and by the time she enters Shiz University- she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz’s most promising young citizens. But Elphaba’s Oz is no utopia. The Wizard’s secret police are everywhere. Animals-those creatures with voices- souls- and minds-are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba- green and wild and misunderstood- is determined to protect the Animals-even if it means combating the mysterious Wizard- even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow- she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas.
