Peanuts

Charles M. Schulz, David Larkin, David Larkin

This book honors the art of the author and lets readers relive the life and times of the most beloved —and the most widely syndicated— comic strip in history, from its infancy in 1950 right through glorious middle age. Watch as your favorite characters grow into their most popular incarnations: Charlie Brown as tenacious baseball manager; Lucy as psychiatrist; Snoopy as Flying Ace; Linus as acolyte of the Great Pumpkin. Including two-color strips and pages of four-color Sunday strips (more than 1,000 strips in all) and photographs, rounded out by Schulz's own comments (offering rare insight into the mind behind the mayhem).
