The Ozmapolitan of Oz
''The Ozmapolitan of Oz'' is a 1986 novel written and illustrated by Dick Martin. As its title indicates, the book is an entrant in the long-running series of stories on the Land of Oz written by L. Frank Baum and various successors.〔Paul Nathanson, ''Over the Rainbow: The Wizard of Oz as a Secular Myth of America'', Albany, NY, State University of New York Press, 1991.〕〔Suzanne Rahn, ''The Wizard of Oz: Shaping an Imaginary World'', New York, Twayne, 1998.〕〔Michael O'Neal Riley, ''Oz and Beyond: The Fantasy World of L. Frank Baum'', Lawrence, KS, University Press of Kansas, 1997.〕
==Authorship==
Like his predecessor John R. Neill, Dick Martin was a veteran Oz illustrator who moved into Oz authorship; ''The Ozmapolitan of Oz'' is Martin's single sustained work of Oz fiction. He includes Decalcomania, Xenophobia, Yahooism, and Zymolysis in a list of human diseases;〔Dick Martin, ''The Ozmapolitan of Oz'', Kinderhook, IL, The International Wizard of Oz Club, 1986; p. 45.〕 his "Game Preserve" is a Parcheesi-like board game laid out in a landscape.〔''The Ozmapolitan of Oz'', pp. 52-7.〕
As both author and artist, Martin had control over the total expression of his fiction. Like most Oz authors, he supplied a human protagonist for young readers to identify with; unusually, he made his protagonist a teenager, a fifteen-year-old boy. In his illustrations, Martin made Dorothy Gale appear somewhat older than she is generally portrayed; she looks like she is at least twelve years old. A decade and a half later, Dave Hardenbrook would also offer a teenage protagonist in his 2000 novel ''The Unknown Witches of Oz''; Martin does not go as far as Hardenbrook later would in making his teen hero a romantic interest.
