    Peanuts Halloween Ashcan (2008) 2008

    By Charles M. Schulz. A Peanuts Halloween, a special comic produced as a free Halloween trick-or-treat giveaway! This little pamphlet reproduces Great Pumpkin-themed Peanuts strips from the last two volumes of Complete Peanuts HC (2004-2016 Fantagraphics). This special promotional ashcan features close to two dozen vintage Peanuts strips from the classic late 1960's period (including five full color Sundays), focusing mostly on Linus' eternally hopeful vigil for the Great Pumpkin, with guest appearances by Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy and...a bird hippie? (We told you they were from the 1960's!) This nifty little giveaway serves as a reminder of Fantagraphics' award-winning Complete Peanuts series... and of the greatness of Peanuts in general. (The 10th volume of Complete Peanuts HC (2004-2016 Fantagraphics), covering 1969-1970, will be released in September.) 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 12 pages, PC/PB&W.
