Martin illustrated Merry Go Round in Oz (1963), the 40th title in the regular Oz series.[2] Martin's illustrations received positive notice in a review in the Chicago Tribune.[3]
He was co-author of The Oz Scrapbook (1977). A Library Journal review of The Oz Scrapbook called it "a superb production".[4] Martin also wrote and illustrated The Ozmapolitan of Oz (1986). He designed new opening titles for the 1990s home video rerelease of His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz.
Prior to his Oz work, Martin illustrated two decks of playing cards for the Chicago Playing Card Collectors. The first, Fact & Fancy, was released in 1961 for the club's 10th anniversary in an edition of 600.[5][6] The second, Mythological Zoo, was made in 1971 and available in two versions — monochrome (edition of 200) and colored (edition of 100).[7]
