John R. Neill - Oz Work

Oz Work

The Wonder City of Oz, The Scalawagons of Oz, and Lucky Bucky in Oz, which debuted each year from 1940 to 1942, were written by Neill for the firm of Reilly & Lee and are considered part of the Famous Forty. His last work, The Runaway in Oz was drafted before his death, however the full illustrations were never finished. Reilly & Lee decided not to publish the manuscript. In 1995, it was published by Books of Wonder and edited and illustrated by Eric Shanower.

Famous quotes containing the word work:

    ‘Tis not need we know our every thought
    Or see the work shop where each mask is wrought
    Wherefrom we view the world of box and pit,
    Careless of wear, just so the mask shall fit
    And serve our jape’s turn for a night or two.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
