About This Book
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 familia
Our Review
This volume collects the foundational years of the iconic comic strip, offering a rare glimpse into the raw, early stages of Charles Schulz's creation. Readers will discover a Peanuts universe still in formation, where the character designs and personalities are noticeably different from the beloved versions cemented in pop culture. This archival collection presents many daily and Sunday strips that have never been reprinted, making it an essential piece of comics history.
The distinct appeal lies in witnessing the artistic evolution firsthand, as Schulz refines his humor and solidifies the world of Charlie Brown and his friends. This compilation is a treasure trove for dedicated fans and comics scholars, providing crucial context for the strip's later brilliance. The experience of seeing a classic find its voice is both fascinating and deeply rewarding, connecting readers to the very origin of a cultural phenomenon.
