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.

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.

(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz 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!

(W/A/CA) Charles M. 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 PAPERBACK VOLUME OF THE BESTSELLING SERIES! The bestselling, 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! The Complete Peanuts 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 (Schulz and Peanuts) and an in-depth interview with Schulz conducted in 1987 by Gary Groth and Rick Marschall.

(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.

(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz 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.

(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz 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.

(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz 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.

(W) Charles M. Schulz, Hal Hartley (A) Charles M. Schulz 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.

(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz 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.

(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz We are midway through the 1970s and this volume features several benchmark storylines, including a 'double track' sequence with two parallel narratives: Peppermint Patty competes in a Powderpuff Derby while Charlie Brown finally meets his baseball idol. There are also obedience school fiascos, waterbed dilemmas, and Marcie's unwanted suitor. All of these classic gags starring Snoopy, Schroeder, Lucy, Franklin, Rerun, and Sally are introduced by writer and comedian Robert Smigel.

(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz 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. Also featured are a profusion of distinctive one- (or two-) shot characters to create one of the most eclectic casts in Peanut's history along with the regular gang that fans have come to expect.

(W/A) Charles M.

Pig Pen?! Introduction by Al Roker. Featuring impeccable production values, this series presents the entire run in chronological order, dailies and Sundays, two years per volume, with supplementary materials.

(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz As Peanuts hits the mid-'80s, Peppermint Patty and Snoopy's brother Spike take starring roles. 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. Featuring impeccable production values, each volume of this series features two successive years of newspaper strips (dailies and Sundays), plus bonus

(W/A/CA) Charles M. Schulz This volume of The Complete Peanuts reaches the middle of the go-go 1980s. In this volume: Peppermint Patty wins her school's essay contest, but snatches defeat from the jaws of victory with a disastrous acceptance speech; Lucy talks Charlie Brown into posing for their school's 'Swimsuit issue'; Snoopy accidentally destroys his doghouse with a cannon; Sally gives Santa Claus a heart attack (literally!); and Snoopy's brother Spike pops up in various deadpan vignettes set in the desert. With its impeccable production values The Complete Peanuts launched a renaissance in comic strip publishing and is the only place Charles M. Schulz's classic has ever been collected in its entirety.

(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!

Introduction by Billie Jean King. 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!

Launching into the 1960s, Schulz adds another new cast member. Two, in fact: The obnoxious Frieda, of 'naturally curly hair' fame, and her inert, seemingly boneless cat Faron. The rapidly maturing Sally, who was after all just born in the previous volume, is ready to start kindergarten and not at all happy about it. Linus' life is particularly turbulent in this volume, as he is forced to wear glasses, sees the unexpected return of his favorite teacher, Miss Othmar, and coaxes Sally into the cult of the Great Pumpkin (with regrettable results). Snoopy, meanwhile, becomes a compulsive water sprinkler head stander, unhappily befriends a snowman or two, and endures a family crisis involving a little family of birds. Plus baseball blowouts (including a rare team victory), Beethoven birthdays, and plenty of dubious psychiatric help for a nickel. This book collects 730 daily and Sunday comic strips, the vast majority of which are not currently available in any in-print Peanuts collection, and many of which have never been reprinted since their initial appearance in papers over 50 years ago.

In this volume of the bestselling Complete Peanuts series, Charles Schulz introduces one (in fact, three) of the quirkiest characters to the Peanuts universe, the numerically-monikered 95472 siblings. They didn't stay around very long but offered some choice bits of satirical nonsense while they did. As it happens, this volume is particularly rich in never-before-reprinted strips: over 150 (more than one fifth of the book!) have never seen the light of day since their original appearance over 40 years ago, so this will be a trove of undiscovered treasures even for avid Peanuts collectors. Introduced by Bill Melendez, animator of all the Peanuts TV specials starting all the way back with A Charlie Brown Christmas!

It's the mid-1960s, one of Schulz's peak periods of creativity. Snoopy has become the strip's dominant personality, and this volume marks two milestones for the character: the first of many 'dogfights' with the nefarious Red Baron, and the launch of his writing career ('It was a dark and stormy night...'). Two new characters - the first two from outside the strip's regular little neighborhood - make their bows. Roy (who befriends Charlie Brown and then Linus at summer camp) won't have a lasting impact, but upon his return from camp he regales a friend of his with tales of the strange kids he met, and she has to go check them out for herself. Her name... Peppermint Patty!

(W/A/CA) Noah Van Sciver Fante Bukowski, a 'writer's writer' that no writer's ever read, must overcome no actual talent to gain the respect and adoration of critics and, more importantly, his father. The Complete Works of Fante Bukowski assembles all three volumes of Noah Van Sciver's Award-nominated series. This omnibus collection also includes an introduction by novelist Ryan Boudinot (Blueprints of the Afterlife), a facsimile reproduction of Bukowski's notorious self-published zine, 6 Poems, a works cited section, and many other surprises!

(W) Noah Van Sciver Living in a beat-up motel, consorting with the downtrodden and mid-level literati, Fante Bukowski must overcome great obstacles: a love interest turned rival, ghostwriting a teen celebrity's memoirs, no actual talent ? to gain the respect and adoration from critics and, more importantly, his father. Van Sciver has created a scathing, hilarious, and empathetic character study of a self-styled author determined to prove that he's just one more poem (or drink) away from success. Originally published in hardcover in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic, The Complete Works of Fante Bukowski quickly sold out and is nominated for a 2021 Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album. This expanded paperback edition includes eight new pages, including a 2020 Slate interview with Fante himself and a cover gallery of Fante's previous books. Also: a foreword by novelist Ryan Boudinot (Blueprints of the Afterlife); a facsimile reproduction of Bukowski's literary debut, 6 Poems (thought lost to time in the wake of a motel fire that destroyed the entire original print run); a 'Works Cit

(W/A/CA) Eric Haven Compulsive Comics collects the very best of Eric Haven's inverted-comic book-consciousness and genre-bending short stories.

Haven's surrealist, self-reflexive, and superbly rendered comics surprise at every turn and showcase an inherent joy for the comics medium.

Video store clerk Darla Vogel is fed up. Fed up with her job, her wake-and-bake roommate, everything. But when one of the customers at Kwok's Video, a precocious home-schooled kid with dreams of chemically engineering authentic meat-flavoring, offers her some of his meat-tinged candies, Darla takes a plunge down the rabbit hole into a surreal world of throbbing, veinous buildings, compulsory public nudity, weird creatures and more. If William S. Burroughs, Lewis Carroll, H.P. Lovecraft and Harvey Kurtzman had a mutant lovechild, it might resemble Bob Fingerman's bold new confection Connective Tissue. Fingerman, a cartoonist and novelist best known for an acclaimed graphic novel (Beg the Question, a Gen X classic with 'dialogue worthy of the stage' according to Entertainment Weekly) and an acclaimed prose novel (Bottomfeeder, which Booklist described as 'at the front ranks of its genre' in a starred review), merges his two favorite disciplines in Connective Tissue, a genre-bending and medium-mixing work best described as a fully illustrated novella. Fingerman's visuals complement and

(W/A/CA) Dash Shaw Dash Shaw's ode to that defining element of fandom, the "costume play", artfully celebrates both the culture's theatricality and uniquely D.I.Y. beauty via a series of interconnected short stories surrounding two young women.

Cosplayers will be released around the same time as Shaw's feature film, My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea goes into wide release in 2017. This expanded edition also includes the 2016 single issue comic book, A Cosplayers Christmas, as well as the original short story that inspired the film.

A MEMOIR OF CHILDHOOD, FAMILY, MENTAL ILLNESS AND CATS Veteran alternative cartoonist Jesse Reklaw, creator of the long-running weekly comic strip Slow Wave, delivers this tragicomic graphic memoir, his first long-form work. Presented as a series of comic novellas that together comprise a thoughtful, sometimes dark and often hilarious memoir about childhood, family, death, mental illness, sex and drug use, the entire book is told through cleverly inviting conceits like cat histories and card games. The graphic novel is told in five parts: In 'Thirteen Cats' (featured in The Best American Comics), Reklaw discovers coping mechanisms that mimic his family pets; 'Toys I Love' relates the author's pre-pubescent brushes with deviant sexual activity, and the way innocence converges with real sexual trauma; 'The Fred Robinson Story' tells the story of Reklaw's period stalking perfect strangers; 'The Stacked Deck,' in which hereditary influences towards criminal behavior, drug use and depression are explored via card games the author played with his family; and 'Lessoned,' a family history of

(W) Monte Schulz Monte Schulz's omnibus prose novel Crossing Eden chronicles the Pendergast family, cast apart by circumstance into the early 20th century landscape of big business, tent shows, speakeasies, s?ances, bank robberies, lynchings, murder, romance, circuses, and skyscrapers. It's a grand tapestry of the American experience in an age of transition from rural to urban, with our nation perched on the precipice of the Great Depression. It is also the story of us, as we once were, as we hoped to be.
