#19885

Return to Oz (1985). Dorothy, saved from a psychiatric experiment by a mysterious girl, is somehow called back to Oz when a vain witch and the Nome King destroy everything that makes the magical land beautiful.

The odd decision in coloring Betty’s hair – like, they just decided her dying it was just going one step too radical.

Things get weird with the title change. (Feature dropped from 2 pages to 1.). BTW: (SIC)

One of the fashions is her wearing “1986”, which to be sure does date one, surely a new “don’t”. Still a weird way of repurposing it – but I guess you do the title premise on anything old not new yet!

And Candy Baker of Wappingers Falls NY -- appears to have moved there from nearby Hopewell Junction -- is the contributor for this and a handful of other fashion drawings. I am a little bit suspicious for New York residents showing up again and again, though we are across the state from the metro area -- so it is not like Decarlo picked this up at a friendly visit with his neighbor. See if there is any throughline on her fashion design through the 1980s.
