Oz Squad is a comic book series using characters and setting from L. Frank Baum's Land of Oz series, "updated for a more adult audience". It was created and written by Steve Ahlquist. The premise is that Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion are now part of "Gale Force" (not to be confused with the comic OzF5: Gale Force (2005) by Alias Enterprises), a Mission: Impossible type organization working to protect Oz from all manner of bizarre threats.
