It was written and illustrated by Australian cartoonist Geoff Augustine and published in 1988 by Budget Books Pty Ltd (with copyright held by OZ CROC PTY LTD). The book is labeled as No. 1 ("Introducing Oz Croc") and appears to be the only volume released, despite the numbering. It is a landscape-format softcover comic book with over 80–120 pages of black-and-white comic adventures, often bundled in "Lots of Laughs" collections alongside other strips like Hagar and Snake.

Oz Croc fits into the tradition of light-hearted, Aussie-flavored humor comics from the era, likely playing on the "oz" (Australia) + crocodile theme with adventurous, comedic antics.
