This September, Dynamite Entertainment, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, proudly unveils a brand-new graphic novel adaptation of The Wizard of Oz by acclaimed creator Soo Lee
For over 85 years, The Wizard of Oz has remained a cherished part of pop culture since its iconic 1939 film debut. Around the same era, comic books were beginning their own legendary journey—captivating audiences and becoming a beloved storytelling medium. Now, these two timeless traditions merge in a stunning new interpretation from Soo Lee, who serves as writer, artist, and cover illustrator.
Known for her work on ThunderCats: Cheetara and Disney Villains: Maleficent, Lee brings a fresh artistic vision to this universally adored tale. Perfect for readers of all ages, this graphic novel follows Dorothy, her loyal dog Toto, and the unforgettable friends they meet as they navigate the magical land of Oz.
Faithful to the story audiences know and love, The Wizard of Oz: The Official Film Adaptation Graphic Novel retells the journey of Dorothy—a Kansas girl swept away by a tornado to a fantastical world. With a trio of unlikely companions, a looming wicked witch, and a quest to return home, the story remains a timeless celebration of courage, compassion, intelligence, and friendship.
In crafting this adaptation, Soo Lee was given unprecedented access to the original screenplay by Noel Langley, Florence Ryerson, and Edgar Allan Woolf. While longtime fans will rediscover familiar moments, Lee’s 128-page full-color rendition includes lesser-known elements and expanded scenes that add new emotional depth to Dorothy’s adventure.
“I’m not reinventing the wheel,” said Lee, “but I’m adding my interpretation to the history of this legendary story. I had more pages to work with, so I really took my time to explore the emotional journey of Dorothy and her friends.”
With its rich illustrations and heartfelt storytelling, this new graphic novel adaptation invites readers to once again journey beyond the rainbow—through the eyes of one of comics’ most visionary talents.
The Wizard of Oz Graphic Novel by Soo Lee will be available on September 30, 2025 with ISBN 9781524126247.
