The Complete Peanuts 1965-1966

Charles M. Schulz

Peanuts is the most popular comic strip in the history of the world. Its characters – Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, and so many more – have become dearly loved icons for generation after generation. Now Charles Schulz’s classic, Peanuts, will be reprinted in its entirety for the first time.

In these beautifully produced editions, the strip will be presented in full in chronological order. They will be the ultimate books for Peanuts’ fans the world over.

In The Complete Peanuts 1965-66: We are now in the mid-1960s, one of Schulz’s peak periods of creativity (and one third of the way through the strip’s life!). 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.

The Complete Peanuts 1965-66 features a new introduction by Hal Hartley, writer/director of acclaimed independent films Trust, Henry Fool, Kimono, Simple Men, The Unbelievable Truth, and Fay Grim.
