| The Royal Historian of Oz reaches its penultimate issue as things start coming to a head. Witches galore and Frank Fizzle has to make a choice as his father's life possibly hangs in the balance.
"As I’ve mentioned before, the capes and tights schtick does tend to get tiring after a while, and being able to sit down and read a comic that is totally out of the genre resets and refreshes my desire to continue to read the medium"
Stephen Schleicher, Major Spoilers.com
"The Royal Historian of Oz is a fun little series that plays far more creatively with its source material than other, more successful mashups such as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies."

"This is a comic that sneaks up on you and rewards those who stop and think about what the pair of creators is trying to say. You don’t have to be an Oz fan to enjoy this comic (although it couldn’t hurt)."

"The Royal Historian of Oz was a great little find, and I definitely recommend it."
Box of Comics After Dark review at Comicbookresources.com
"This is not some retelling of a Baum story. This is the story of a kid whose father has taken upon himself to write new Oz stories. Terrible, terrible Oz stories. He can't pay the bills, he can't get respect, but he keeps churning out Oz story after Oz story, much to the embarrassment of his son. Until, of course, something significant happens.
This was a really promising story, and has me absolutely amped to see where they take it. It takes a lot for a black and white indie comic to excite me And this one does."

"Baum’s books differ greatly from the MGM 1939 film, you can come in with zero knowledge of his books and The Royal Historian of Oz should be 100% accessible to any reader."
"This is not just a great Oz comic, but a terrific comic by any standards."
