New from Hungry Tiger Press is a beautiful new edition of The Oz Encounter by Marv Wolfman, author of the hit novel Crisis on Infinite Earths and co-creator of The New Teen Titans.

Combining Ted White's brilliant 1970's pulp-hero Doc Phoenix, and L. Frank Baum's Oz books, Marv Wolfman weaves a spell-binding sci-fi tale illuminated by fantasy artist Stephen Fabian's wonderful illustrations!

In The Oz Encounter, Psychologist Dr. Raymond Phoenix enters the mind of a young girl and finds an amazing land based on the famous Oz stories. Yet it's not quite the Oz we know, but an Oz shaped by the girl's own life. Doc Phoenix meets Dorothy, the Shaggy Man, the Tin Woodman, and a whole bunch of Winged Monkeys as he searches the young girl's mind for clues to her mysterious illness.

What happens when a character from her mind crosses over to the real world of Doc's Virginia headquarters? As the suspense builds, Phoenix plunges deeper and deeper into the perilous mystery of the girl's fantasy. Two worlds collide in a startling and unexpected climax!

When Doc Phoenix enters the young girl's Oz fantasy the book switches to traditional Oz Book format! This new first hardcover edition will be a much sought-after collector's item. Don't miss out on this exciting sci-fi adventure from the former editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics!
