In the 1960's Reilly & Lee published the "white cover" set of Oz books. "Onward to Oz" is the back cover of Ozma of Oz and "The Cowardly Lion..." is the back cover of The Wizard of Oz. Vaughn Bode was a famous underground comic book artist of the 60's & 70's, most noted for his character Cheech Wizard; the present poster is his creation of Cheech and his companions dressed as Oz characters on a yellow brick road on the way to his castle. The 50th anniversary poster is a black and white publicity still of the MGM actors in front of a giant Oz book; the poster notes the movie's video availability. The "Return to Oz" is a drawing by "drew" dated 1984, of a long-tressed princess holding the Oz insignia; at its bottom is the teaser line, "coming from Walt Disney Pictures for Summer 1985." Very good. (70/100).
