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. 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.
