Ultimate OZ Universe

ULTIMATE OZ UNIVERSE is a modern, canon-faithful continuation of L. Frank Baum’s OZ novels — built in collaboration with ShaggyMan Productions and Alchemation, alongside leading OZ historians, to honor the original mythology while expanding into the vast world beyond the familiar road of yellow bricks. Across forgotten regions, strange new realms, and legendary kingdoms, iconic characters return, new heroes rise, and the wonder of OZ grows wider with every chapter.

With a heartfelt foreword from Elton John, the first volume marked a dazzling new step for the OZ universe.

“Every moment with a book is precious and I was dazzled by the first instalment in the Ultimate Oz Universe, celebrating the legacy of Baum’s genius and the heritage of colour, unique characters and the triumph of goodness.” — Elton John

Volume 1 — THE LOST LANDS opens the door to OZ’s deeper lore through Tip’s transformative journey, as he crosses perilous lands, encounters beloved companions, and discovers the truth about his origins — including the magic within him. Along the way, familiar faces like Tin Woodman return, while characters and locations like H.M. Wogglebug, T.E. and Fiddlestick Forest remind readers just how vast OZ truly is.

Volume 2 — INTO THE OUTERLANDS expands the map and raises the stakes through two heroines on parallel paths: Dorothy and Princess Ozma. As Dorothy is swept toward Castle Ev and Princess Langwidere, Ozma is drawn into a mission from Glinda that carries her across the Deadly Desert toward Fire Island — joined by Scarecrow, Hungry Tiger, and new heroes you’ll soon meet. Two journeys, one living mythology — setting the stage for the future of OZ.
