Product Description
As the 1950s close down, "Peanuts" enters its golden age. Linus, who had just learned to speak in the previous volume, becomes downright eloquent. Charlie Brown cascades further down the hill to loserdom. But the rising star is undoubtedly Snoopy. He's at the centre of the most action-packed episodes. Jonathan Franzen, author of "The Corrections" and life-long "Peanuts" fan, introduces the collection.

Editorial Reviews
Review
'As powerful a comic art-piece as anything out today...will delight Peanuts aficionados. - Observer '...these timely re-issues illustrate not only the skill and subtle brilliance of his work but also the origins of the form beyond simple merriment.' - The List 'Beautifully designed ... One of the high-water marks of post-war popular culture.' - Daily Telegraph 'Canongate has had the brilliant wheeze of reprinting Charles Schultz's strip cartoon from the beginning in hardback volumes...' - Herald 'The Complete Peanuts is beautifully bound, a comprehensive resource and, with an index and introduction, a useful contextualisation of a modern legend.' - The Skinny '...in these first volumes (1950-54), we can already see what will appeal to 21st century readers.' - Sunday Times

57-58:toward the golden years
One can't praise enough Fantagraphics Books for reprinting the complete collection of one of the most insightful, funny and loved strips of the past century. in this books we see Peanuts rapidly evolving towards its mature and golden years, with Lucy's first attempt to make Linus get rid of his blanket, Schroeder, Lucy and Beethoven's triangle in full gear, CB's misadventures with kites and baseball, and towards the end, Snoopy sleeping on his doghouse roof! A great piece in a splendid collection!
