This latest volume includes an introduction by Lemony Snicket himself, Daniel Handler plus scholarly essays about this most over-looked period in the Peanuts canon. 2 Hardcovers (with Slipcase), 8 1/2-in. x 7-in., Vol. 19 - 344 pages and Vol. 20 - 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $49.99.

Even the most devoted Peanuts fan will be surprised by revisiting Charles Schulz's last decade of work. Schulz's cartooning has never been more expressive, and his sense of humor never more unencumbered by formula or tradition. Featuring the usual gang of nuts in often surprising situations (Snoopy eyeing a seat on the Supreme Court!?), this is the 22nd volume (of 25) of the bestselling series collecting every single one of the 18,000-plus strips created by Schulz from 1950-2000. 2 Hardcovers (with Slipcase), 8 1/2-in. x 7-in., 688 pages (Total), B&W.

Schulz, from its debut in 1950 to its end in 2000. Hardcovers (with Slipcase), 8 1/2-in. x 7-in., 688 pages (Total), B&W. Cover price $49.99.

SET 13 - NOTE: Printings on Books may vary. "1999-2000!" Contains Complete Peanuts Hardcover (2004- ) Vol. 25-26. By 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. Hardcovers (with Slipcase), 8 1/2-in. x 7-in., 688 pages (Total), B&W. Cover price $49.99.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "1953-1954!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. Introduction by Walter Cronkite. Peanuts is the most successful comic strip in the history of the medium as well as one of the most acclaimed strips ever published. The first volume (1950-52) has nearly sold out of its 70,000-copy print run. This second volume begins with Peanuts' third full year and a cast of eight: Charlie Brown, Shermy, Patty, Violet, Schroeder, Lucy, the recently born Linus, and Snoopy. By the end of 1954, this will have expanded to nine. Linus, Lucy and Charlie Brown all start to transition into the complex characters we're familiar with and then Pigpen comes onto the scene. This book collects 730 daily and Sunday comic strips, the vast majority of which are not currently in print in any other Peanuts collection, and over 400 of which have never been reprinted since their initial appearance in papers over 50 years ago. The Complete Peanuts is produced in full cooperation with United Media, Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates, and Mr. Schulz's widow, Jean Schulz. Each volume in the series presents two years of strips along with supplementary material in a three-tier page format that accommodates three dailies or one Sunday strip per page. Award-winning graphic novelist Seth is designing the series so that each individual book is sharply recognizable and yet clearly part of a consistent series. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.

Volume 2 - 2nd and later printings. "1953-1954!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. Our second volume is packed with intriguing developments, as Schulz continues to create his tender, comic universe. The majority of these strips are not available in any other in-print book. Introduction by Walter Cronkite. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $29.99.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "1955-1956!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. The third volume in our acclaimed series takes us into the mid-1950s as Linus learns to talk, Snoopy begins to explore his eccentricities (including his hilarious first series of impressions), Lucy's unrequited crush on Schroeder takes final shape, and Charlie Brown becomes... well, even more Charlie Brown-ish. Over half of the strips in this volume have never been printed since their original appearance in newspapers a half century ago! Even the most dedicated Peanuts collector/fan is sure to find many new treasures. The Complete Peanuts will run 25 volumes, collecting two years chronologically at a rate of two books a year for 12 years. Each volume is designed by the award-winning cartoonist Seth (Clyde Fans) and features impeccable production values; every single strip from Charles M. Schulz's 50-year American classic is reproduced better than ever before. 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, and an epilogue by series editor Gary Groth. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 346 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.

Volume 4 - 1st printing. "1957-1958!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. As the 1950s close down, Peanuts definitively enters its golden age. Linus, who had just learned to speak in the previous volume, becomes downright eloquent and even begins to fend off Lucy's bullying, while his security neurosis becomes more pronounced. Charlie Brown cascades further down the hill to loserdom, with spectacularly lost kites and humiliating baseball losses. Pig-Pen, Shermy, Violet, and Patty are also around, as is an increasingly Beethoven-fixated Schroeder. But the rising star is undoubtedly Snoopy. No wonder the beagle is the cover star not only of this volume, but of the collector's slipcase. Introduction by Jonathan Franzen. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 352 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.

Volume 5 - 1st printing. "1959-1960!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. Rounding out the first decade in this volume, major new additions to classic Peanuts lore come fast and furious here. Snoopy begins to take up residence atop his doghouse, and his repertoire of impressions increases exponentially. Lucy sets up her booth and 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. Charlie Brown's sister Sally makes her appearance, first as an (off-panel) brand-new baby for Charlie to gush over, then as a toddler, and eventually a talking, thinking cast member. All this, and one of the most famous Peanuts strips ever: 'Happiness is a warm puppy.' Almost one hundred of the 731 strips collected in this volume (including many Sundays) have never been collected in any book since their original release, with one hundred more having been collected only once. The introduction is by comedienne extraordinaire Whoopi Goldberg, who reveals which Peanuts character she has tattooed on her body (and where), as well as telling of her meeting with 'Sparky' Schulz, and her fascinating theory on Snoopy's brother Spike. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 328 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.

Volume 6 - 1st printing. "1961-1962!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. 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. New introduction by legendary jazz pianist/vocalist Diana Krall! Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 352 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.

Volume 7 - 1st printing. "1963-1964!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. 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. Introduction by Bill Melendez, animator of all the Peanuts TV specials starting all the way back with A Charlie Brown Christmas! Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 346 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.

Volume 8 - 1st printing. "1965-1966!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. 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! Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 340 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.

Volume 9 - 1st printing. "1967-1968!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. As we rush toward the end of Peanuts' second full decade, Snoopy finds himself almost completely engrossed in his persona as the "World War I Flying Ace" - to the point where he goes to camp with Charlie Brown and maintains his persona throughout the entire two-week period (much to Peppermint Patty's bafflement). Snoopy dominates this volume with his various adventures and his dealing with the return of his original owner, Lila. If you're surprised by that last one, imagine how Charlie Brown feels! Lila makes only a brief appearance, but this volume sees the appearance of what would be Schulz's most controversial major character: Franklin. (Yes, in 1968 the introduction of a black character caused a stir.) Peppermint Patty, working toward her ascendancy as one of the major Peanuts players in the 1970s and 1980s, also has several major turns, including a storyline in which she's the tent monitor for three little girls - who call her "Sir." Introduction by John Waters. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 330 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.95.

Volume 10 - 1st printing. "1969-1970!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. He turns up first as Snoopy's secretary, then gradually becomes a good friend whom Snoopy helps to fly South... but it's not until June 22, 1970 that the little bird gains a name, in a perfect salute to the decade that ends with this volume: Woodstock!In other timely stories, Peppermint Patty runs afoul of her school's dress code (those sandals!), Lucy declares herself a "New Feminist," and Snoopy's return to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm on a speaking engagement climaxes in a riot and a new love found amidst the teargas ("She had the softest paws...").Speaking of Snoopy, this volume falls under the sign of the Great Beagle, as three separate storylines focus on the mysterious sovereign of Beagledom. First Snoopy is summoned by a wrathful G.B. when Frieda submits a complaint about his (Snoopy's) desultory rabbit-chasing efforts; then, back in the Great one's good graces, Snoopy is sent on a secret mission; and finally he himself ascends (briefly!) to the mantle of Great Beagledom.In other news, an exasperated Lucy throws Schroeder's piano into the maw of the kite-eating tree, with gruesome results... Miss Othmar goes on strike and Linus gets involved... Charlie Brown's baseball team has an actual (brief) winning streak... Snoopy's quest to compete in the Oakland ice skating competition is thwarted by his inability to find a partner... Charlie Brown goes to a banquet to meet his hapless baseball hero Joe Shlabotnik... Snoopy is left in the Van Pelt family's care as Charlie and Sally Brown head out of town for a vacation... and (alas) the Little Red-Haired Girl moves away. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 328 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.99.

Volume 11 - 1st printing. "1971-1972!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. Peanuts surges into the 1970s with Schulz at the peak of his powers and influence: a few jokes about Bob Dylan, Women's Liberation and "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex" (!) aside, these two years are as timeless as Peanuts ever was. Sally Brown - school phobia, malapropisms, unrequited love for Linus and all - elbows her way to center stage, at least among the humans, and is thus the logical choice for cover girl... and in her honor, the introduction is provided by none other than Broadway, television and film star Kristin (Wicked) Chenoweth, who first rose to Tony-winning fame with her scene-stealing performance as Sally in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Two long Summer-camp sequences involve Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty, who has decided that Charlie Brown is madly in love with her, much to his clueless confusion. Snoopy shows up at camp as well, as does Peppermint Patty's new permanent sidekick, the one and only Marcie. The eternally mutable Snoopy mostly shakes off his World War I Flying Ace identity and turns into Joe Cool, college hipster extraordinaire. And in three long sequences he writes a fan letter to his favorite author, Miss Helen Sweetstory, then goes on a journey to meet her, and finally enlists Charlie Brown's help when her latest opus, "The Six Bunny-Wunnies Freak Out," falls afoul of censors. Also, Woodstock attends worm school, falls in love with a worm (perhaps the most doomed unrequited Peanuts love story ever!), and is nearly eaten by the neighbors' cat... Peppermint Patty is put on trial for another dress code violation and makes a very ill-advised choice in terms of lawyers... Snoopy turns Linus's blanket into not one but two sportcoats... Lucy hits a home run... and the birth of one Rerun Van Pelt! Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 328 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.99.

Volume 13 - 1st printing. "1975-1976!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. GOOD GRIEF, CHARLIE BROWN, WE'RE HALFWAY THERE! That's right! With this volume, The Complete Peanuts reaches the halfway point of Charles M. Schulz's astounding half-century run on the greatest comic strip. These years are especially fecund in terms of new canine characters, as Snoopy is joined by his wandering brother Spike (from Needles), his beloved sister Belle (from Kansas City), and... did you know he had a nephew? In other beagle news, Snoopy breaks his foot and spends six weeks in a cast, deals with his friend Woodstock's case of the "the vapors," and gets involved in a heated love triangle with Linus over the girl "Truffles." It's another two years of Peanuts at its finest! Featuring an introduction by comedian Robert Smigel (Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog, Saturday Night Live). Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.99.

Volume 14 - 1st printing. "1977-1978!" Story and art by Charles 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. But that doesn't mean Schulz's creativity has diminished; in fact, this volume features an amazing profusion of hilariously distinctive new one- (or two-) shot characters! For instance, in an epic five-week sequence, when Charlie Brown, found guilty by the EPA of biting the Kite-Eating tree, he goes on the lam and ends up coaching the "Goose Eggs," a group of diminutive baseball players, Austin, Ruby, Leland, and -did you know there was a second Black Peanuts character, aside from Franklin?-Milo. Also: a tennis-playing Snoopy ends up reluctantly teamed with the extreme Type "A" athlete Molly Volley... who then reappears later in the book, now facing off against her nemesis, "Crybaby" Boobie. (Honest!) Add in Sally's new camp friend Eudora, the thuggish "caddymaster" who shoots down Peppermint Patty and Marcie's new vocation, an entire hockey team, and a surprise repeat appearance by Linus's sweetheart "Truffles" (creating a love triangle with Sally), all in addition to the usual cast of beloved characters (including the talking schoolhouse and the doghouse-jigsawing cat, who gets ahold of Linus's blanket in this one), and you've got a veritable crowd of characters. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.99.

Volume 15 - 1st printing. "1979-1980!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. IT'S 1980, CHARLIE BROWN... AND PEPPERMINT PATTY IS WEARING CORN-ROWS! PLUS A STRANGE ROMANCE... Charles Schulz enters his fourth decade as the greatest cartoonist of his generation, and Peanuts remains as fresh and lively as it ever was. (How do we know it's 1980? Well, for one thing Peppermint Patty gets herself those Bo-Derek-in-"10" cornrows - Peanuts' timelessness occasionally shows a crack!) That said, The Complete Peanuts 1979-1980 includes a number of classic storylines, including the month-long sequence in which an ill Charlie Brown is hospitalized (including a particularly spooky moment when he wonders if he's died and nobody's told him yet), and an especially eventful trek with Snoopy, Woodstock, and the scout troop (now including a little girl bird, Harriet). And Snoopy is still trying on identities left and right, including the "world-famous surveyor," the "world-famous census taker," and Blackjack Snoopy, the riverboat gambler. In other extended stories, Snoopy launches an ill-fated airline (with Lucy as the agent, Linus as the luggage handler, and Marcie as what it was still OK then to call the stewardess)... Peppermint Patty responds to being leaked upon by a ceiling by hiring a lawyer (unfortunately, she again picks Snoopy)... plus one of the great, forgotten romances of Peanuts that will startle even long-time Peanuts connoisseurs: Peppermint Patty and..."Pig-Pen"?! Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.99.

Volume 16 - 1st printing. "1981-1982!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. Introduction by Lynn Johnston. Charles Schulz's Peanuts world will never grow old, and Fantagraphics' complete reprinting of this masterpiece, now in its eighth year has firmly established itself as one of the very finest archival comic-strip projects ever done. With this volume, The Complete Peanuts ventures into the lesser-known 1980s, and Peanuts fans are sure to find plenty of surprises. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.99.

Volume 17 - 1st printing. "1983-1984!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. As Peanuts reaches the mid-1980s, Charles Schulz is still creating new characters, and in this volume Snoopy's brother Spike takes center stage. In romantic news, the Peppermint Patty-Marcie-Charlie Brown love triangle heats up while Linus continues to deny that he is Sally's "Sweet Babboo." Lucy's pursuit of Schroeder continues and romance blossoms between two of Snoopy's "Beagle Scout" birds. All this plus appearances from the cover-featured Franklin, Rerun, and the rest of the gang from a period of Peanuts that's far less well-known than the 1960s and 1970s strips. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.99.

Volume 18 - 1st printing. "1985-1986!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. Another two years of hilarious, heart-warming strips from the great Charles M. Schulz as Peanuts reaches the middle of the go-go 1980s. Its a time of hanging out at the mall, "punkers" (Snoopy with a Mohawk), killer bees, airbags, Halley's Comet, and a surprisingly sharp satirical sequence poking fun at runaway licensing. This new volume features an introduction by Patton Oswalt. And, as usual, a box set combining this latest volume with the previous, complete with slipcase, is available at a bargain price. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.99.

Volume 19 - 1st printing. "1987-1988!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. As we reach the 19th volume in this best-selling series collecting arguably the greatest comic strip of all time, Charles Schulz is still as inventive, hilarious, and touching as ever. This volume features an introduction by Garry Trudeau plus a surprise format change, as the daily strip switches from its trademark four-square-panels format to a more flexible one-to-four-variable-panels format which, along with Schulz's increased use of gray tones, give this volume a striking, distinctive look! Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $28.99.

Volume 20 - 1st printing. "1989-1990!" Story and art by Charles Schulz. CHARLIE BROWN FINDS TRUE LOVE - AND MORE IN THE 20TH VOLUME OF THE COMPLETE PEANUTS! Our latest volume is particularly dense with romantic intrigue, as Marcie and Charlie Brown end up at camp together, sending Peppermint Patty into mad jealousy (especially since Marcie can't resist teasing her)... and an old friend of Charlie Brown's attempts to look him up again but confuses him with Snoopy and goes on a date with him instead. But the most crucial event in romance is Charlie Brown's romance with Peggy Jean - even though he's so flustered in his first conversation with her that he ends up stuck with the name "Brownie Charles" for the duration of her relationship ("I kind of like it..."). This volume also introduces yet another Snoopy sibling, Olaf, who is humiliatingly invited to enter an ugly-dog contest (and, even more humiliatingly, wins). Plus lots of Zen-like Spike-and-cactus strips, Sally Brown non sequiturs, D-minuses for Peppermint Patty, and wise thoughts from Franklin's grandpa... Snoopy treks through the wilderness as the Beagle Scoutmaster and through the desert as the World Famous Sergeant of the Foreign Legion, Woodstock takes a whack at being the King of the Jungle, Lucy enjoys Michael Jackson on her boom box, Marcie's perfectionism leads to a crack-up, Pigpen runs for class president, Snoopy gets called to jury duty... and for a change, Lucy pulls the football out from under Charlie Brown.

This latest volume includes an introduction by Tom Tomorrow plus scholarly essays about this most over-looked period in the Peanuts canon. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $29.99.

Volume 26 - 1st printing. "1950-2000!" Story and art by Charles 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. Hardcover, 9-in. x 7-in., 344 pages, B&W. Cover price $29.99.
