Wicked : the graphic novel. Part I by Scott Hampton"Like Dorothy when she crash-landed all those years ago, prepare to be swept into a new and colorful world in this first-ever graphic novel adaptation of Wicked. While the long-running Broadway musical and major motion picture take inspiration from this iconic novel, this is Oz as Gregory Maguire wrote it--a fantastical story with dark edges that explores morality and ambition, love and friendship, and discovering one's inner power." “For fans of Wicked, this graphic novel adaptation is a long-awaited and welcome addition, finally doing justice to the original novel’s darker and more intricate themes. Scott Hampton’s art elevates the storytelling, immersing readers in a beautifully grim Oz while capturing the emotional depth of Elphaba’s journey.” — AIPT Comics |
