Eric,
If the Wizard of Oz had not been a success as a Broadway play in 1903, how do you think “Marvelous Land of Oz” would have differed from Baum’s finished copy?

Do you have any upcoming projects, either with Marvel or independently?

Eric, you done Oz comics before. What about this series has made it stand out from your previous work?
June 27th, 2009 on 5:31 pm
As you plan out your Oz adaptations, are there any episodes, characters, or details you’re glad to have the opportunity to leave out?

What is the meaning of life, the Universe, and everything?

Where do you think the “World of Oz” will be in the public conciseness in 100 years from now?

Eric with as many current works as there are in the “Oz World” what if anything do you do to make this work uniquely your own? Or if you don’t agree with changing the work to your style what steps do you take to remain true to L. Frank Baum’s original works?

Eric,
Your drawings are such a masterful tribute to John R. Neill’s, keeping so much of his character and architecture design in your art. How do you manage to keep your work so true to that design, and yet so unique?

Will there be any great (large) deviations from the source material you’re working with? If so, what do you plan to leave out or add? – Paul

Hi Eric,
I have to ask this because I actually took a class on Children’s Literature and the first Oz book was on my syllabus of reading. The first book has a whole lot of material which you were able to miraculously weave in. Is there anything from that first book which you feel is weak story-wise? My professor finds that certain things like the porcelain village really are in there, and really have no purpose to the ultimate end of the story. I like the first Oz book alot, i just wanted to hear your thoughts.

How do you illustrate something as iconic as the Wizard of Oz without shitting your pants?
July 3rd, 2009 on 5:56 am
Eric, have you raised seriously to adapt to comic the rest of the books? For example up to “Emerald City of Oz” or even “Royalbook of oz”.
