About this ebook

Dolores loves to make things up and have fun... until it lands her in hot water with Dad!


​When she accidentally melts the ice samples in his laboratory, Dolores wishes she was somewhere far away from her troubles. But her wish soon comes true, transporting her to a strange yet familiar land ruled by a terrible, oxygen-making Wizard. And before he'll let her return home, she must first destroy the Wicked Weather of the West!


The Wizard of O2 is a single-issue comic for kids and grown-ups alike, bringing readers back to the Land of Oz for a 21st century adventure in science and magic.



"It's perfect... One of the most wholesome adventures I’ve read... A beautiful, wholesome story reminiscent of Disney tales. ★★★★★" - Shane Syddall, COMX


"Young creates an enduring story that, despite the troubles the characters have, will have you smiling some as you read... Lins' art is absolutely perfect, especially for the more comical aspects of the story... A delightful take on the classic tale of 'The Wizard of Oz'... Be sure to grab a copy and enjoy it with family!" - Rob Wrecks, Indie Comix


"A modern fairy tale that shakes up the genre... Well written and beautifully illustrated... It is most importantly about the vital necessity for truth in our society; from the family values of telling the truth to your parents - to the much broader implications of accepting lies and lying to ourselves... An empowering story with a great message." - Alana Jessop, Spierigfilm

I just finished this and really enjoyed it. Great work! Dolores was a great protagonist and well realised. My favourite part was when she castigated the wizard for expecting her to fix everything when she is just a kid. A great analogy for our current situation.

Vibrant topical comic with modernised vision of a classic Good one-sitting read which fore-fronts important environmental message amidst magical elements and personal responsibility theme. Colourful in-roads for young to be exposed to current conservation concerns. Highly recommend for families to read and share together.

A creative take on a classic story melded with one of the biggest issues facing humanity right now. Cleverly walks the line of urging action on climate change without being preachy, copping out or wallowing in despair. Looking forward to seeing more from the authorship team.
