"Courage" picks up where L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz left off, with the Winged Monkeys taking the Cowardly Lion to the forest where he's been acclaimed king. A giant spider, ten times larger than the one the Lion killed near the end of The Wizard of Oz, has arrived to terrorize the forest. Can the Lion, with his newly won courage granted by the Wizard, defeat the monster spider?
