The final volume in this collectable and highly praised series - with an afterword by Charles Schulz's widow.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

While the 50-year run of the Peanuts newspaper strip 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 of The Complete Peanuts 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. As a fitting end to the volumeโ€”and the seriesโ€”Schulz's widow, Jeannie Schulz, provides an emotional afterword to the volume as well.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Critics and fans alike praise Charles Schulz's work for its cross-generational appeal and profound humour. The Seattle Times highlights Schulz's prominence in the comic art world, while Jude Law finds it hilarious and relatable. John Waters commends Schulz as a great artist and philosopher, teaching resilience through laughter. Umberto Eco describes Peanuts as a microcosm of human comedy, and Time magazine calls it a brilliant, modern, and unique comic strip. Matt Groening lauds it as a fifty-year masterpiece blending joy and heartbreak.
