Thank you so much for your kind words! I put a lot of work into this one and I'm really happy to see that people like it. The dark skin was definitely intentional; there's so much in the Oz books about diversity and tolerance that it's really a shame that so many of the characters are portrayed as white. If a tin man and a living scarecrow are okay, why not different skin tones?
You're very welcome!! The Witch of the South is one of my favorite characters from the book series, and it's such a pity that she's not always represented in the way she should be.
I agree with you about the diversity and tolerance bit! Baum really made it a point of his to make sure that everyone in Oz was kind and accepting, which I love. Like you said, in a world with so much magic, why are skin tones an issue?
I'm working on my own comic adaption of the first book, and I've made it an intention of mine to give the characters all manner of skin colors- Glinda is very Persian-Indian inspired in my version, so she will have darker skin.

I saw your comic, it looks great! I look forward to seeing more of it!
Thank you!! That means a lot, coming from another Oz connoisseur!! Do you have any plans to do more Oz characters in the future? I love your interpretations 
Yep, I've got a whole series planned. 
Woo!! I'm really excited now!!
Mind if I ask who you have planned??

Dorothy is next. After that it'll probably be Polychrome.
Ooo, I can't wait!! I've always loved Polychrome- she's such an interesting character. I feel like she would be really ripe for artistic interpretation.
