Synopsis
With a classy design by Seth, this box brings together in a snazzy slipcover the first two volumes in Fantagraphics monster rerelease campaign of the COMPLETE PEANUTS. Here we've got Charles Schulz's earliest efforts (many of which are hard to find elsewhere). Character that will soon to be household names get introduced (some in infancy, which they quickly outgrow) and take shape, hinting at the adventures and developments that lie ahead. For fans, there're loads of treats--like meeting Snoopy for the first time as a puppy and then witnessing his first shark impression. Schulz hones his visual style in the first four years of daily and Sunday strips. Garrison Keillor and Walter Cronkite introduce the editions, which also include an essay, interview, analysis of a reconstructed strip, and reference indices.
