THE FIRST PAPERBACK VOLUME OF THE BESTSELLING SERIES!
The bestselling, award-winning, critically acclaimed series that sparked a renaissance for fans of classic comic strips upon its debut in 2004 is now coming in softcover! This first volume, covering the first two and a quarter years of the strip, features hundreds of strips rarely reprinted before this series. Three major cast members - Schroeder, Lucy, and Linus - initially show up as infants and only "grow" into their final "mature" selves as the months go by. Even Snoopy debuts as a puppy! The Complete Peanuts offers a unique chance to see a master of the art form refine his skills and solidify his universe, day by day.
This volume is rounded out with Garrison Keillor's introduction, a biographical essay by David Michaelis (Schulz and Peanuts) and an in-depth interview with Schulz conducted in 1987 by Gary Groth and Rick Marschall.

Story and art by Charles M. Schulz.
Our second paperback volume of the acclaimed Complete Peanutsseries finds Schulz establishing his comic universe.
Pigpen and his dust cloud join Charlie Brown, Shermy, Patty, Violet, Schroeder, Lucy, baby Linus, and Snoopy. Charlie Brown hasn't yet abandoned his brasher, prankish behavior from our first volume and Lucy has forcefully elbowed her way to the center of the action. Snoopy's appearances here may come as the biggest surprise: he behaves, for the most part, like a dog!

Volume 4 - 1st printing. "1957-1958!"
Story and art by Charles M. Schulz.
In this fourth paperback volume, the 1950s close and Peanuts enters its golden age.
Linus becomes downright eloquent and begins to fend off Lucy's bullying, although his neurosis becomes more pronounced, including a harrowing two-weeks of blanketlessness. Charlie Brown cascades further down the hill to loserdom, with lost kites and humiliating baseball losses. But the rising star is undoubtedly Snoopy. Also available for the holidays is a gift box containing this volume and Vol. 3 1955-1956.
