Comic books in 'Child'

Volume 4 - 1st printing. "1957 -1958!" Story and art by Hank Ketcham. No one captured the mischievousness, rambunctiousness, and anarchy of a kid's world better than cartoonist Hank Ketcham with Dennis the Menace. The strip appeals to both parents and children - while parents shake their head ruefully at how accurately Ketcham caught the essence of children's natural zest for mayhem, children identify with Dennis and the chaos that he leaves in his wake. Ketcham's gags are funny, subtle and touching, and executed with a vivacious exquisite line. Ketcham's legendary pen and ink work achieves its full flowering in this volume, as do the various situations and themes that Ketcham would return to again and again. This fourth volume of Hank Ketcham's The Complete Dennis the Menace publishes every single panel strip from 1957 and 1958 in one handsome and thick hardcover volume. Hardcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 644 pages, B&W. Cover price $24.95.

Volume 5 - 1st printing. "1959-1960!" Story and art by Hank Ketcham. We finish the 1950s and surge into the 1960s! At this point Ketchman's graphic design sense, prwtty much flawless to begin with, has attained a degree of virtuosity unparalleled in comic strip history. Each page is a master class in drawing, design, and (even within a single panel) storytelling... and of course the rambunctious mischievousness of Dennis (and the long-suffering patience of his parents, Margaret, the Wilsons, and assorted other victims) never ceases to charm, delight, and amuse. Hardcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 672 pages, B&W. Cover price $24.95.

Volume 6 - 1st printing. "1961-1962!" Story and art by Hank Ketcham. Dennis vaults into the 1960s with his anarchic spirit still intact. As always, this book is a series of unrelated panel gags (with the exception of one week-long story involving Dennis' mild-mannered Grandpa), but what gags! Ack! Cough! cough! Hank Ketcham is legendary for being one of the most exquisitely skilled cartoonists of all time, and each and every panel is a small masterpiece of design and draftsmanship. This volume of The Menace features Dennis' long-suffering parents, the Wilsons, his dog Ruff, his best pal Joey, his nemesis Margaret, and a seemingly endless parade of babysitters, as well as hapless shopowners, policemen and teachers, and family friends, all of whom come to realize that it's Dennis' world... they just live in it! Hardcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 672 pages, B&W. Cover price $24.95.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "1951-1952!"

Story and art by Hank Ketcham.

Ketcham's Complete Dennis the Menace publishes every single panel strip in handsome and thick hardcover volumes resembling a Big Little Book on steroids. The reason for Dennis' success is easy to figure out: It was one of the most brilliantly observed and empathetic comic strips about childhood ever drawn. Ketcham captured the mischievousness, rambunctiousness, and anarchy of a kid's world better than any other cartoonist.

The master creation of Winsor McCay (1869-1934), restless sleeper Nemo inspired generations of artists with his weekly adventures from bed to Slumberland, a realm of colorful companions, psychedelic scenery, and thrilling escapades.

Nemo's creator Winsor McCay was a founding figure in the modern American entertainment industry, above all with his revolutionary comics, which set standards for panel layout and storytelling technique, timing and pacing, and architectural and other detail that left an inestimable influence on subsequent artists, including Robert Crumb and Federico Fellini.

TASCHEN's sumptuous Winsor McCay - The Complete Little Nemo collects, in full, glorious color, all 549 episodes of Little Nemo. In the illustrated essay, art historian and comics expert Alexander Braun places Winsor McCay's life and work within the cultural history of the U.S. media and entertainment industry, and explores the immense art historical value of McCay's dream narrative. At once an adventure story, visual delight, and piece of cultural history, this publication is a tremendous monument to one of the most innovative pioneers-and one of the most intrepid explorers-of comic history.

1st printing. By Andrew Farago. People around the world recognize Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Snoopy. And Peanuts enthusiasts know Peggy Jean, Roy, and Spike. But what about Shermy? Truffles? And who exactly is Floyd? The Complete Peanuts Family Album explores the entire Peanuts universe, from its most iconic personalities to the its most obscure characters. This encyclopedia of each character covers every significant event and key icon from the mind of Charles M. Schulz, and includes comic strips, memorabilia, and new art that bridges the gap between nostalgia and contemporary culture. Hardcover, 9-in.x 11-in., 256 pages, full color. All Ages Cover price $40.00.

Volume 2 - 2nd and later printings. "1953-1954!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. Our second volume is packed with intriguing developments, as Schulz continues to create his tender, comic universe. The majority of these strips are not available in any other in-print book. Introduction by Walter Cronkite. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $29.99.

Volume 5 - 2nd and later printings. "1959-1960!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. Rounding out the first decade in this volume, major new additions to classic Peanuts lore come fast and furious here. Snoopy begins to take up residence atop his doghouse, and his repertoire of impressions increases exponentially. Lucy sets up her booth and offers her first five-cent psychiatric counsel. For the very first time, Linus spends all night in the pumpkin patch on his lonely vigil for the Great Pumpkin. Charlie Brown's sister Sally makes her appearance, first as an (off-panel) brand-new baby for Charlie to gush over, then as a toddler, and eventually a talking, thinking cast member. All this, and one of the most famous Peanuts strips ever: 'Happiness is a warm puppy.' Almost one hundred of the 731 strips collected in this volume (including many Sundays) have never been collected in any book since their original release, with one hundred more having been collected only once. The introduction is by comedienne extraordinaire Whoopi Goldberg, who reveals which Peanuts character she has tattooed on her body (and where), as well as telling of her meeting with 'Sparky' Schulz, and her fascinating theory on Snoopy's brother Spike. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 328 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.

Volume 6 - 1st printing. "1961-1962!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. Launching into the 1960s, Schulz adds another new cast member. Two, in fact: The obnoxious Frieda, of 'naturally curly hair' fame, and her inert, seemingly boneless cat Faron. The rapidly maturing Sally, who was after all just born in the previous volume, is ready to start kindergarten and not at all happy about it. Linus' life is particularly turbulent in this volume, as he is forced to wear glasses, sees the unexpected return of his favorite teacher, Miss Othmar, and coaxes Sally into the cult of the Great Pumpkin (with regrettable results). Snoopy, meanwhile, becomes a compulsive water sprinkler head stander, unhappily befriends a snowman or two, and endures a family crisis involving a little family of birds. Plus baseball blowouts (including a rare team victory), Beethoven birthdays, and plenty of dubious psychiatric help for a nickel. This book collects 730 daily and Sunday comic strips, the vast majority of which are not currently available in any in-print Peanuts collection, and many of which have never been reprinted since their initial appearance in papers over 50 years ago. New introduction by legendary jazz pianist/vocalist Diana Krall! Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 352 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.

Volume 7 - 2nd and later printings. "1963-1964!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. In this volume of the bestselling Complete Peanuts series, Charles Schulz introduces one (in fact, three) of the quirkiest characters to the Peanuts universe, the numerically-monikered 95472 siblings. They didn't stay around very long but offered some choice bits of satirical nonsense while they did. As it happens, this volume is particularly rich in never-before-reprinted strips: Over 150 (more than one fifth of the book!) have never seen the light of day since their original appearance over 40 years ago, so this will be a trove of undiscovered treasures even for avid Peanuts collectors. Introduction by Bill Melendez, animator of all the Peanuts TV specials starting all the way back with A Charlie Brown Christmas! Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 346 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.

Volume 8 - 2nd and later printings. "1965-1966!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. It's the mid-1960s, one of Schulz's peak periods of creativity. Snoopy has become the strip's dominant personality, and this volume marks two milestones for the character: the first of many 'dogfights' with the nefarious Red Baron, and the launch of his writing career ('It was a dark and stormy night...'). Two new characters - the first two from outside the strip's regular little neighborhood - make their bows. Roy (who befriends Charlie Brown and then Linus at summer camp) won't have a lasting impact, but upon his return from camp he regales a friend of his with tales of the strange kids he met, and she has to go check them out for herself. Her name... Peppermint Patty! Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 340 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.

Volume 12 - 2nd and later printings. "1973-1974!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. Introduction by Billie Jean King. Celebrate life with THE COMPLETE PEANUTS! Fantagraphics is proud to present the release of the 12th volume of the most recognized comic strip of all time! Charles M. Schulz's American masterpiece has defined the way we read, create and consider comic strips. Nothing short of genius, Schulz's ability to articulate the human experience through pathos and humor is authentic to the point where the line between art and existence is nearly unrecognizable. We are all Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy and Woodstock! Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.99.

Volume 20 - 1st printing. "1989-1990!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. CHARLIE BROWN FINDS TRUE LOVE - AND MORE IN THE 20TH VOLUME OF THE COMPLETE PEANUTS! Our latest volume is particularly dense with romantic intrigue, as Marcie and Charlie Brown end up at camp together, sending Peppermint Patty into mad jealousy (especially since Marcie can't resist teasing her)... and an old friend of Charlie Brown's attempts to look him up again but confuses him with Snoopy and goes on a date with him instead. But the most crucial event in romance is Charlie Brown's romance with Peggy Jean - even though he's so flustered in his first conversation with her that he ends up stuck with the name "Brownie Charles" for the duration of her relationship ("I kind of like it..."). This volume also introduces yet another Snoopy sibling, Olaf, who is humiliatingly invited to enter an ugly-dog contest (and, even more humiliatingly, wins). Plus lots of Zen-like Spike-and-cactus strips, Sally Brown non sequiturs, D-minuses for Peppermint Patty, and wise thoughts from Franklin's grandpa... Snoopy treks through the wilderness as the Beagle Scoutmaster and through the desert as the World Famous Sergeant of the Foreign Legion, Woodstock takes a whack at being the King of the Jungle, Lucy enjoys Michael Jackson on her boom box, Marcie's perfectionism leads to a crack-up, Pigpen runs for class president, Snoopy gets called to jury duty... and for a change, Lucy pulls the football out from under Charlie Brown. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $29.99.

Volume 21 - 1st printing. "1991-1992!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. Peanuts enters its final decade, and The Complete Peanuts enters its homestretch, with material that is perhaps the most neglected of Schulz's career. Schulz's cartooning has never looked more confident, and his sense of humor never more unrestrained. This latest volume includes an introduction by Tom Tomorrow plus scholarly essays about this most over-looked period in the Peanuts canon. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $29.99.

Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $29.99.

Volume 23 - 1st printing. "1995-1996!" Story and art by Charles Schulz.
