Product Description

"Peanuts" is the most popular comic strip in the history of the world. Its characters - Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, and so many more - have become dearly loved icons for generation after generation. Now Charles Schulz's classic, "Peanuts", will be reprinted in its entirety for the first time. In these beautifully produced editions, the strip will be presented in full in chronological order. They will be the ultimate books for "Peanuts'" fans the world over. These first volumes will be of particular fascination to "Peanuts" aficionados. Many of the strips from the series' first two or three years have never been collected before, in large part because they showed a young Schulz working out the kinks in his new strip. They include some characterizations and designs that are quite different from the cast we all know. And Snoopy debuts as a puppy!

Review
"'An extraordinary publishing project.' Time 'So well-done that any reader will be impatient for the rest of the series, but in the meantime this is a book to savour.' Amazon.com 'Now that Schulz is gone, the comic he drew for fifty years looks more eccentric and ingenious all the time.' Washington Post"

Customer Reviews

How do I love Peanuts? Let me count the ways...
I used to rely on the back pages of newspapers for my Peanuts fix; now I can binge with a heavy hardback. Good grief! This has an introduction by an unlikely but super-enthused Peanuts fan, Walter Cronkite (a famous CBS news anchor, for any Europeans who don't recognise the name), and includes all of the strips from the cartoon's 3rd and 4th years of existence. It's fascinating how different the characters looked back then. I look forward to following my hero, Lucy, 'the nation's foremost authority on jumping ropes', through the next few volumes. May there be many.
