The best-selling, award-winning, critically acclaimed series that sparked a renaissance for fans of classic comic strips upon its debut in 2004 is now coming in softcover! This first volume, covering the first two and a quarter years of the strip, features hundreds of strips rarely reprinted before this series. 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! <em>The Complete Peanuts</em> offers a unique chance to see a master of the art form refine his skills and solidify his universe, day by day. This volume is rounded out with Garrison Keillor's introduction, a biographical essay by David Michaelis (S<em>chulz and Peanuts</em>) and an in-depth interview with Schulz conducted in 1987 by Gary Groth and Rick Marschall.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Charles M.
