My school library has the 55-56 book.

My library has these, I might check 'em out sometime. What other Peanuts merch do you have, Prez? I like the series but I don't really have much...I think the only Peanuts thing I have is the "Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown" DVD.

I remember seeing some issues of the Kaboom! series at the comic book store I go to. I might take a look at those too...

They're pretty good, one of the artists in it works at the Charles M. Schulz (Creator of Peanuts) Creative Associates

I wish would've gotten more into the comics. I watched the cartoon A LOT when I was younger.

The same company that publishes The Complete Peanuts is also releasing a series calle "Peanuts Every Sunday", which collects every 4 years of Sunday Peanuts Comics in their original color.

I don't think this is the real cover. We'll fin out once we get closer to the date


Date: November 2013

Fantagraphics Books has announced its intention to publish a series of full-color Peanuts books featuring the strip's color Sunday material.

The first volume, Peanuts Every Sunday: 1952-1955, will drop this November. It should run 288 pages, contain four years worth of the long-running strip, and measure at just under 13 inches by 10 inches. It will retail at $50.

My understanding is that Joanne Bagge is working on the color production for these volumes, so it should be snap-to pretty. There should also be a lot of fun with the early volumes to see things like the original coloring of Charlie Brown's shirt.

The Fantagraphics black and white series of complete Peanuts strips has proven to be a groundbreaking effort for that company (providing an economic ballast that has allowed it to continue its art-comics ways), that title (by making the case for the long-running comic as formidable art), and strip collections generally (by raising the standard for art direction and the general ambition for such projects in a very high-profile way). These color Sunday collections will likely not have the exact same effect, coming as they are in a completely different time for the publisher and for comics publishing more generally, but I have to imagine that they should continue to be good news for the iconic publisher in terms of its overall health. And hey, great comics.

There are ten volumes planned.
