DESCRIPTION:
But many who read Peanuts in their original Sunday papers remain fond of the striking coloring, which makes for a surprisingly different reading experience. Five years of vintage color Peanuts Sundays in a deluxe coffee table edition! Since their original publication, Peanuts Sundays have almost always been collected and reprinted in black and white. Peanuts Every Sunday: 1971-1975 has been scrupulously re-colored to match the original syndicate coloring, and these early 1970s strips showcase Schulz at his philosophical and illustrative peak. Full-color illustrations throughout.
“PRETTY MUCH INVENTED THE MODERN COMIC STRIP!” – STEPHAN PASTIS (PEARLS BEFORE SWINE)
Schulz was born November 25, 1922, in Minneapolis. . In the spring of 1950, he received a letter from the United Feature Syndicate, announcing their interest in his submission, Li'l Folks. (The title, which Schulz loathed to his dying day, was imposed by the syndicate.) The first Peanuts daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952.Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. C
Transcendent. A Treasure! Paige Turner What a treasure this book is! Watching Charles Schulz mature as an artist and writer over the first two years of his Sunday strips is a mesmerizing process. About half way through, a year of Sunday strips, he has hit his stride and the characters are defined as we understand them today, 50 years later. His power is his ability to do a multitude of things at once, with the simple Sunday comic medium. He takes very simple drawings and deals with not only the big philosophical issue of life, but he also develops the characters so keenly that we just KNOW them, and at the same time he lets us laugh. We laugh not at the characters, bu. "Just wonderful! Superb collection, with the usual Peanuts wit, all in a great size, comfortable to hold and read!" according to Clarence Threepwood. One of the best collections. Schulz hit his stride even as early as 1959-1961 period this is based upon. The cast of characters look like themselves (unlike the early 1950s versions which were almost poor caricatures of what they became).50+ years on and the strips are still delightful, putting smiles on our faces, and even the occasional laugh aloud.As my father notes, Schulz could do wonders with just a line here or there! There are some amazing strips involving Snoopy and some of the themes that occur for years are already here--e.g., Snoopy vs. Linus and the blanket.It's almost guaranteed that you won't remember many of them,. David Wright said HUGE AND BEAUTIFUL!. I don't know about you, but I LOVE seeing the Peanuts comics as they were MEANT to be read -- in all their gigantic glory. If you're like me and wish that newspapers still actually gave space to comics, and you're a fan of Peanuts, then THIS is the collection for you.I don't feel much need to go into the content. Who isn't familiar with Peanuts?I'm already collecting the Complete Peanuts series from Fantagraphics. They're great collections, but the Sundays aren't in color, and the comics aren't in their original size. So this book, also the first in a series, makes things right!Yeah, the books are huge, as some others have said,
