In addition to the beloved character Pig-Pen,

Read the foreword by Matt Groening
The third volume of the acclaimed
Complete Peanuts series includes such landmarks as Linus’s first spoken words, Charlie Brown’s first baseball humiliation, and a hilarious series of impressions by an ever-more-Snoopyish Snoopy. All this and “Pig-Pen”, too!

The Complete Peanuts 1957-1958
Read the foreword by Jonathan Franzen
Everyone’s favourite beagle comes into his own in this fourth volume of the best-selling
Complete Peanuts series. Snoopy covets Linus’s security blanket, indulges in imitations and impressions, joins the baseball team and, toward the end of this book, he even — an epochal development — starts sleeping on the roof of his doghouse.

The Complete Peanuts 1959-1960

Peanuts concludes its first decade, a new character makes her appearance: Charlie Brown’s little sister Sally. This volume covers her earliest days, from her proud brother’s announcement of her birth to her first words (and crush on Linus)!

Read the foreword by Diana Krall

The Complete Peanuts 1963-1964
Read the foreword by Bill Melendez
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.

Read the foreword by Hal Hartley
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…”).
