Cover by Charles Schulz. Stories and art by Anthony Pocrnich, Dale Hale and John Stanley. A short-lived series translating Charles Schulz' beloved strip to comic books; Schulz only did the covers, farming out the interior stories to friends and co-workers. Patty and Lucy try to play a prank on boy scout Charlie Brown, not realizing they've caught an actual bear. Watching jet fighters take off, Charlie Brown fantasizes that he's a fighter pilot, while still being Charlie Brown. Linus falls asleep during a rainstorm and gets stranded on an island in the park. Plus a Sluggo story (as in Nancy and Sluggo) written by Little Lulu legend John Stanley. The Plane Truth; Flying High; Marooned; Smoke Screen; Sluggo: Spell-Bound; The Cub Scout; Bird Call; The Star Gazers. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.

Volume 7 - 1st printing. "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.
