In 1982, Bruce Springsteen departed from an upbeat rock and roll sound to release Nebraska--a spare, haunting piece of story-telling populated by deadbeats, desperadoes, and the poor souls unfortunate enough to fall in love with them.

The story is the same, and yet it's entirely different. In this fascinating reinterpretation of L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz, artist Graham Rawle has stripped the epic story about Dorothy's journey to Oz of all remnants of Hollywood iconography. Gone are the Judy Garland braids, the Technicolor ruby slippers, the ethereal Glinda the Good Witch. In their place, Rawle has fashioned graphic-novelesque characters and scenery that are at once relentlessly modern and also devoutly loyal to Baum's original text.
