Item Description

Good grief! The Complete Peanuts is the most ambitious and most important project in the comics and cartooning genre: every daily and Sunday strip of Charles M. Schulz's "Peanuts," the best-known and best-loved series in the world.

1950-1952

Most everyone with an interest in its history has seen the very first strip ("Good ol' Charlie Brown... How I hate him!"), but this first volume follows it up with 287 pages (three daily strips or one Sunday per page) of vintage material in chronological order. "Peanuts" was unique at the time for portraying kids who seemed like real kids, but they also had a wisdom beyond their years, embodied especially by the lovable loser, Charlie Brown, who even in these early years has lost 4000 checker games in a row.

1953-1954

The second volume covers 1953-54, and the visual style and character development is closer to the kids we know and love, as they try to exist in a grown-up world. Charlie Brown is no longer the object of Patty and Violet's affection--derision, more like--and his pattern of losing continues. 

The set comes in handsome collector's slipcase designed by the cartoonist Seth, this is the perfect gift book item.

NOTE: The binding on the 1953-1954 book has an irregularity at the bottom of the binding as shown in the photos.
