Five great Snoopy books in one box! "Snoopy is the most popular character in the strip. In fact, I think you could make a good case that he's the most popular cartoon character in the world. I suppose that's because what I've done with him is very original. I don't think there has been an animal character in a long time that has done the different things that Snoopy has done. He's an attorney. He's a surgeon. He's the World War I Flying Ace." --Charles M. Schulz Includes: Snoopy: Cowabunga! Snoopy: Contact! Snoopy: Party Animal Snoopy to the Rescue Snoopy: What's Wrong with Dog Lips?
This first volume, covering the first two and a quarter years of the strip, will be of particular fascination toPeanuts aficionados worldwide: Although there have been literally hundreds of Peanuts books published, many of the strips from the series' first two or three years have never been collected before―in large part because they showed a young Schulz working out the kinks in his new strip and include some characterizations and designs that are quite different from the cast we're all familiar with. (Among other things, 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!) Thus 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, week by week, month by month.
Includes all of the comics and bonus materials from Snoopy: Cowabunga! and Charlie Brown and Friends. Good grief! Charlie Brown’s baseball team has the worst record in history, he’s constantly tormented by a kite-eating tree, and his crush doesn’t even know he exists. Fortunately, he’s surrounded by some of the best friends around. In this special collection of Peanuts comics for kids, you’ll meet outspoken Lucy, philosophical Linus, musical genius Schroeder, and, of course, Charlie Brown’s wave-surfing, airplane-piloting, Beagle Scout–leading dog, Snoopy, who treats life as one big adventure. Join in the fun and find out why Peanuts is the most cherished comic strip of all time. The gang’s all here!
While the 50-year run of the Peanuts newspaper strip is obviously the heart and soul of Charles Schulz's career, he also created a large amount of Peanuts material that didn't run in the strip. This bonus 26th volume of The Complete Peanuts collects all of Schulz's non-strip related Peanuts art: storybooks, comic book stories, single-panel gags, advertising art, book illustrations, photographs and even a recipe. With close to 1,000 Peanuts images included, all created by Schulz himself, no true Peanuts library would be complete without this final, celebratory volume of The Complete Peanuts. As a fitting end to the volume - and the series - Schulz's widow, Jeannie Schulz, provides an emotional afterword to the volume, as well.
As the 1950s close down, Peanuts definitively enters its golden age. Linus, who had just learned to speak in the previous volume, becomes downright eloquent and even begins to fend off Lucy's bullying; even so, his security neurosis becomes more pronounced, including a harrowing two-week "Lost Weekend" sequence of blanketlessness. Charlie Brown cascades further down the hill to loserdom, with spectacularly lost kites, humiliating baseball losses (including one where he becomes "the Goat" and is driven from the field in a chorus of BAAAAHs); at least his newly acquired "pencil pal" affords him some comfort. Pig-Pen, Shermy, Violet, and Patty are also around, as is an increasingly Beethoven-fixated Schroeder. But the rising star is undoubtedly Snoopy. He's at the center of the most graphically dynamic and action-packed episodes (the ones in which he attempts to grab Linus's blanket at a dead run). He even tentatively tries to sleep on the crest of his doghouse roof once or twice, with mixed results. And his imitations continue apace, including penguins, anteaters, sea monsters, vultures and (much to her chagrin) Lucy. No wonder the beagle is the cover star of this volume.
