His first major published works were the Oz graphic novels, which are The Enchanted Apples of Oz, The Secret Island of Oz, The Ice King of Oz, The Forgotten Forest of Oz, and The Blue Witch of Oz. They are collected in a single large volume titled Adventures in Oz. He has written and illustrated a full-length Oz novel, The Giant Garden of Oz, and a collection of short Oz stories, The Salt Sorcerer of Oz. He has also illustrated books by most of the 'official' Oz historians, including The Wicked Witch of Oz by Rachel Cosgrove Payes, The Rundelstone of Oz by Eloise Jarvis McGraw, The Runaway in Oz by John R. Neill, and The Visitors from Oz by L. Frank Baum. Other significant Oz projects include his illustrations for Edward Einhorn's Paradox in Oz and The Living House of Oz.
As of 2005, his ongoing comic book serialization of the Trojan War, Age of Bronze, published by Image Comics, had been collected in two volumes, A Thousand Ships and Sacrifice. A third volume, Betrayal, is currently being serialised.
He has also drawn a number of one shot comics, such as Ed Brubaker's Prez "Smells Like Teen President".
Shanower's partner is David Maxine, owner and operator of Hungry Tiger Press, a publisher of Oz books and other Oz-related items.
Shanower won Eisner Awards for best writer-artist in 2001 and 2003, and was nominated for the Ignatz Award for outstanding artist in 1999, for his work on Age of Bronze.
