It's here:  the latest gigantic Sunday-page-sized super-book from Sunday Press, the trailblazing publisher that opened all our eyes to the glory of early 20th century Sunday comics pages with Little Nemo in Slumberland: So Many Splendid Sundays and its sequels.  This time around we are treated to a look at the super-rare Sunday pages devoted to the wonderful world of Oz.  Here's what publisher, Peter Maresca has to say:   "Now arriving in Kansas (and everywhere else): a long-hidden treasure from the Land of Oz.  In 1904 L. Frank Baum, creator of The Wizard of Oz , wrote a story specifically for the Sunday color comic sections to promote his second Oz book. These pages, illustrated by comic pioneer Walt McDougall, ran for 26 weeks and feature some of the most innovative comic strip layouts of the era. In that same year, a second Oz Sunday feature appeared, Scarecrow and Tinman, by famed Wizard of Oz illustrator W.W. Denslow. This sumptuous volume also includes the complete run of BOTH of these fantasy series, reprinted for the first time in the original colors and in full broadsheet size. The book also features additional Denslow comics 1901-03, such as Billy Bounce (the first superhero of the comics) as well as beautiful comic features from McDougall and Oz illustrator John R. Neill. This book is full of rarely seen comic gems - a must-have for all Oz fans and collectors of classic comic strips." Dig into some details in this illustrated page on the publisher's site. 72 pages, 16 x 18 inches.

It's here!  The follow-up volume to the most heralded collection of classic comics ever produced.  This volume is even more packed with art and features than the first volume, the printing is every bit as gorgeous, and the binding has been improved.  In the face of this Sunday Press edition, it's a challenge to find an adequate superlative!  We're working on it...
