Even the most devoted Peanuts fan will be surprised by revisiting Schulz's last decade of work on the most beloved comic strip of all time.

Introductions by Matt Groening & Jonathan Franzen. 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. Two 328-page books in custom slipcase.

Introductions by Whoopi Goldberg & Diana Krall. Though the long-running hardcover Complete Peanuts series concludes this season, the paperbacks launch into the 1960s! The obnoxious Frieda and her cat Faron are added to the cast while Linus is forced to wear glasses and coaxes Sally into the cult of the Great Pumpkin. Snoopy befriends a snowman and endures a crisis involving a family of birds. Plus baseball blowouts, Beethoven birthdays, and plenty of psychiatric help for a nickel. Also available this season is our annual boxed set of this volume plus the spring's previous volume.
Introductions by Barack Obama & Jean Schulz While the 50-year run of the Peanuts newspaper strip (1950-2000) 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 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.
The first volume in the best-selling archival series collecting the most beloved comic strip ever. Many of these formative strips have never been collected or reprinted anywhere else. Introduction by Garrison Keillor. [(W/A/CA) Charles M. 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. [(W/A/CA) 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! [(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz]
This third volume takes us into the mid-1950s as the characters we are all familiar with solidify. Linus learns to talk, Snoopy begins to explore his eccentricities, Lucy's crush on Schroeder takes shape, and Charlie Brown becomes even more Charlie Brown-ish! This volume includes an introduction by Matt Groening (The Simpsons) as well as the popular Complete Peanuts index, a hit with librarians and collectors alike.

Fantagraphics award winning Peanuts series now reprinted in budget-friendly softcover! As the first decade of Peanuts closes, Snoopy begins to take up residence atop his doghouse, and his repertoire of impressions increases exponentially. Lucy 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. Even more importantly, Charlie Brown's sister Sally makes her appearance. All this, and one of the most famous Peanuts strips ever: Happiness is a warm puppy. Introduction Whoopi Goldberg.
Schulz introduces Frieda, she of naturally curly hair. Sally starts kindergarten; Linus gets glasses; Snoopy makes some unlikely friends. Plus baseball blowouts, Beethoven birthdays and dubious psychiatric help for a nickel.
Though the long-running hardcover Complete Peanuts series concluded in 2016 with Vol. 26, the paperback editions continue! This volume is rich in never-before-reprinted strips. More than one fifth of the book had never seen the light of day since their original appearance until reappearing in The Complete Peanuts. These lost strips include Linus making a near-successful run for class president and Snoopy getting involved with a group of politically fanatical birds. Also in this volume: Lucy creates an educational slideshow of Charlie Brown's faults and Snoopy's doghouse begins its conceptual expansion. Introduction by Bill Melendez.
We are now in the mid-1960s, one of Schulz's peak periods of creativity. This volume marks two milestones for Snoopy: the first dogfight with the Red Baron, and the launch of his writing career. Two new characters make their bows. Roy, who won't make a lasting and a strange kid he has met. Her name? Peppermint Patty.
The World War I Flying Ace is riding high throughout this volume, but Snoopy still has time to moonlight as an armwrestling champion, a figure skater, a vulture, and the Cheshire Beagle. Not to mention running for political office on the Paw ticket! Also, did you know Charlie Brown wasn't his original owner? The truth is revealed here for the very first time... Plus: Franklin and Jose Peterson make their debut, side by side with old favorites like Sally, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder, and Peppermint Patty.
He turns up first as Snoopy's secretary, then becomes a good friend whom Snoopy helps to fly south, eventually gaing a name that is the perfect salute to the decade that ends with this volume: Woodstock! In other stories, Peppermint Patty runs afoul of her school's dress code, Lucy declares herself a New Feminist, and Snoopy returns to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm on a speaking engagement! Vol. 10 also features an introduction by renowned children's book author Mo Willems.
Peanuts surges into the 1970s with Schulz at the peak of his powers and influence: a few jokes about Bob Dylan, Women's Liberation and Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (!) aside, these two years are as timeless as Peanuts ever was. Sally Brown - school phobia, malapropisms, unrequited love for Linus and all - elbows her way to center stage, at least among the humans, and is thus the logical choice for cover girl... and in her honor, the introduction is provided by none other than Broadway, television and film star Kristin (Wicked) Chenoweth, who first rose to Tony-winning fame with her scene-stealing performance as Sally in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Two long Summer-camp sequences involve Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty, who has decided that Charlie Brown is madly in love with her, much to his clueless confusion. Snoopy shows up at camp as well, as does Peppermint Patty's new permanent sidekick, the one and only Marcie. The eternally mutable Snoopy mostly shakes off his World War I Flying Ace identity and turns into Joe Cool, college hipster extraordinaire. And in three long sequences he writes a fan letter to his favorite author, Miss Helen Sweetstory, then goes on a journey to meet her, and finally enlists Charlie Brown's help when her latest opus, The Six Bunny-Wunnies Freak Out, falls afoul of censors. Also, Woodstock attends worm school, falls in love with a worm (perhaps the most doomed unrequited Peanuts love story ever!), and is nearly eaten by the neighbors' cat... Peppermint Patty is put on trial for another dress code violation and makes a very ill-advised choice in terms of lawyers... Snoopy turns Linus's blanket into not one but two sportcoats... Lucy hits a home run... and the birth of one Rerun Van Pelt!

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!
Rerun Van Pelt takes his first terrifying journey on the back of his mom's bike. The schoolhouse building Sally used to talk to begins to answer back.

Plus, when Charlie Brown's baseball-sized rash forces him to wear a paper bag over his head, he discovers that he's suddenly more well-liked and successful.

As it enters its 4th decade, Peanuts remains as fresh and lively as ever, with classic storylines like Charlie Brown’s hospital stay and surprises like romance between Peppermint Patty and Pig Pen?! Introduction by Al Roker.
The world's greatest comic strip enters the '80s! In volume 16 of The Complete Peanuts (softcover edition), Snoopy's long-lost brother "Marbles" joins the cast of characters - and is baffled by Snoopy's un-doglike behavior. Charlie Brown lives up to his hard-luck reputation: on the day of the biggest game of the season, he loses the baseball field! In other stories, Peppermint Patty witnesses the "butterfly miracle," Linus and Sally spar over whether he is indeed her "Sweet Babboo," the Van Pelts foray into an ill-fated farming venture, and two of the most eccentric characters from later Peanuts years - the hyper-aggressive Molly Volley and the whiny "Crybaby" Boobie - return for a rematch.

This volume features an introduction by Garry Trudeau plus a surprise format change, as the daily strip switches from its trademark four-square-panels format to a more flexible one-to-four-variable-panels format which, along with Schulz's increased use of gray tones, give this volume a striking, distinctive look.

He turns up first as Snoopy's secretary, then gradually becomes a good friend whom Snoopy helps to fly South... but it's not until June 22, 1970 that the little bird gains a name, in a perfect salute to the decade that ends with this volume: Woodstock!In other timely stories, Peppermint Patty runs afoul of her school's dress code (those sandals!), Lucy declares herself a "New Feminist," and Snoopy's return to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm on a speaking engagement climaxes in a riot and a new love found amidst the teargas ("She had the softest paws...").Speaking of Snoopy, this volume falls under the sign of the Great Beagle, as three separate storylines focus on the mysterious sovereign of Beagledom. First Snoopy is summoned by a wrathful G.B. when Frieda submits a complaint about his (Snoopy's) desultory rabbit-chasing efforts; then, back in the Great one's good graces, Snoopy is sent on a secret mission; and finally he himself ascends (briefly!) to the mantle of Great Beagledom.In other news, an exasperated Lucy throws Schroeder's piano into the maw of the kite-eating tree, with gruesome results... Miss Othmar goes on strike and Linus gets involved... Charlie Brown's baseball team has an actual (brief) winning streak... Snoopy's quest to compete in the Oakland ice skating competition is thwarted by his inability to find a partner... Charlie Brown goes to a banquet to meet his hapless baseball hero Joe Shlabotnik...

Schulz; Introduction Mo Willems]
story CHARLES M. SCHULZ art CHARLES M. SCHULZ cover CHARLES M. SCHULZ JULY 28 344 PAGES/ B&W As the 1970s wind down, the last two recurring Peanuts characters have fallen into place: Snoopy's brother Spike and the youngest Van Pelt sibling, Rerun. But that doesn't mean Schulz's creativity has diminished; in fact, this volume features an amazing profusion of hilariously distinctive new one- (or two-) shot characters! For instance, in an epic five-week sequence, when Charlie Brown, found guilty by the EPA of biting the Kite-Eating tree, he goes on the lam and ends up coaching the "Goose Eggs," a group of diminutive baseball players, Austin, Ruby, Leland, and -did you know there was a second Black Peanuts character, aside from Franklin?-Milo. Also: a tennis-playing Snoopy ends up reluctantly teamed with the extreme Type "A" athlete Molly Volley... who then reappears later in the book, now facing off against her nemesis, "Crybaby" Boobie. (Honest!) Add in Sally's new camp friend Eudora, the thuggish "caddymaster" who shoots down Peppermint Patty and Marcie's new vocation, an entire hockey team, and a surprise repeat appearance by Linus's sweetheart "Truffles" (creating a love triangle with Sally), all in addition to the usual cast of beloved characters (including the talking schoolhouse and the doghouse-jigsawing cat, who gets ahold of Linus's blanket in this one), and you've got a veritable crowd of characters. [Charles M. Schulz]

As Peanuts reaches the mid-1980s, Charles Schulz is still creating new characters, and in this volume Snoopy's brother Spike takes center stage. In romantic news, the Peppermint Patty-Marcie-Charlie Brown love triangle heats up while Linus continues to deny that he is Sally's "Sweet Babboo." Lucy's pursuit of Schroeder continues and romance blossoms between two of Snoopy's "Beagle Scout" birds. All this plus appearances from the cover-featured Franklin, Rerun, and the rest of the gang from a period of Peanuts that's far less well-known than the 1960s and 1970s strips.
This volume of The Complete Peanuts is particularly romance-heavy as the Charlie Brown/Peppermint Patty/Marcie triangle heats up; love blossoms between two of the "Beagle Scout" birds; and Linus still refuses to be Sally's "Sweet Babboo"! Meanwhile, Peppermint Patty goes to the "sleep disorders center" to find out why she's always nodding off in class; Charlie Brown becomes, in his worst baseball-related humiliation to date, the mascot of Peppermint Patty's "Pelicans"; Linus finally gives up his security blanket once and for all; and Snoopy's brother Spike pops up in hilarious, deadpan vignettes set in far-flung Needles, California. The Complete Peanuts is the reprint project that launched a renaissance in comic strip publishing and the only place Charles M. Schulz's classic has ever been collected in its entirety.

Another two years of hilarious, heart-warming strips from the great Charles M. Schulz as Peanuts reaches the middle of the go-go 1980s. Its a time of hanging out at the mall, "punkers" (Snoopy with a Mohawk), killer bees, airbags, Halley's Comet, and a surprisingly sharp satirical sequence poking fun at runaway licensing. This new volume features an introduction by Patton Oswalt. And, as usual, a box set combining this latest volume with the previous, complete with slipcase, is available at a bargain price. [(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz]
In this latest volume of Peanuts, romance is in the air: Charlie Brown's flirtatious winking in class sends him to the school nurse, Linus's attempts to woo "Lydia" of the many names are met with mockery - and Peppermint Patty and Marcie's fierce quarrel over which one of them "Charles" likes the best. Other storylines include Snoopy's stay in the hospital for a hockey-related knee injury - until everyone realizes that dogs don't have knees, Patty's campaign to be her school's "May Queen," Sally's rocky career as a playwright, and Snoopy's "kiss-and-tell" book. Plus, fan-favorites Lucy, Rerun, Spike... and Snoopy's feathered Beagle Scouts!

As America's greatest comic strip leaves the '80s behind and enters its final decade, romantic intrigue abounds along with the introduction of a new character (Snoopy's sibling Olaf) and the divergent story lines of all the regular (and irregular) Peanutgang. This latest volume includes an introduction by Lemony Snicket himself, Daniel Handler plus scholarly essays about this most over-looked period in the Peanutcanon. [(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz]
Celebrating its 40th birthday, Schulz's iconic comic strip continues in The Complete Peanuts, introducing a new character, Olaf, Snoopy's brother, who wins the "Ugly Dog" contest in a humbling twist. Peppermint Patty's summer school contrasts with her friends' camp adventures, while Marcie faces pressure from her perfectionism. Lucy's baseball mishaps continue, Linus promotes the "Great Pumpkin Movement," and Charlie Brown's new girlfriend mistakes his name for Brownie Charles. Additionally, a box set gathers the latest two volumes (Vols. 19 and 20) of the paperback series, which offers complete collections of Charles M. Schulz's timeless work, along with extras like celebrity introductions, interviews, and a Schulz biography.
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. [(W/A) Charles M. Schulz]
Even the most devoted Peanuts fan will be surprised by revisiting Charles Schulz's last decade of work.

Featuring the usual gang of nuts in often surprising situations (Snoopy eyeing a seat on the Supreme Court!?), this is the 22nd volume (of 25) of the bestselling series collecting every single one of the 18,000-plus strips created by Schulz from 1950-2000.
In this volume, Charlie Brown gets caught up in a fake autographs racket, Crybaby Boobie returns, Snoopy's brothers search for Mickey Mouse, Rerun pursues the underground arts and Linus starts his own church only to be declared a false prophet, plus other surprises that make these last few years of Peanuts ripe for reconsideration.

Introduction by Barack Obama. Fantagraphics presents the final collection of the defining comic strip of the 20th century. This volume collects the final year through to the last strip on Feb. 13, 2000, 50 years since its debut. In this volume, Rerun cements himself as the last great Peanuts character, embarking on a career as an underground comic book artist! Also featured is the complete Li'l Folks, a weekly one-panel comic produced between 1947 and 1950 along with an introduction by none other than POTUS himself, Barack Obama.

Introduction by Jean Schulz. While the 50-year run of the Peanuts newspaper strip (1950–2000) 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 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.
