The Complete Peanuts #26

Plot

While the 50-year run of the Peanuts newspaper strip (1950–2000) 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 volume — and the series — Schulz’s widow, Jeannie Schulz, provides an emotional introduction to the volume, as well.
