Product Description |
|
With intros by John Waters and Mo Willems! The Complete Peanuts 1967-1968 is a particularly Snoopy-heavy collection. In addition to seeing the beagle adopt multiple personas, this volume also sees the appearance of what would be Schulz's most controversial major character: Franklin. In Charles Schulz's The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970, Woodstock makes his first appearance, Snoopy is left in the Van Pelt family's care as the Browns vacation... and the Little Red-Haired Girl moves away. |

Not really collectable |
|
All the strips in these books are freely available online. You can query the strips according to the published dates (from date ~ to date) and the number of strips per page shown. And it's really convenient. So, then why should we buy this book ? It is because the books are supposed to be superior so that they have the value of the "collectable". Unfortunately, this is not the case. All the Sunday strips are black and white. To see them in color you have to go online. So, this book is actually inferior to the free online version, and I wonder why anyone should buy it, unless he thinks that he has a better deal because he exchanged 30 not so artistic green papers with 200+ cartoon strip papers. |

The 60's come to a close in style with the Peanuts gang |
'741.5 SCH'
That may be gibberish to some, but to me, it was the dewey-decimal system location of the Peanuts strips in my Elementary school library. I really gained my love of Peanuts from those library-bound books, but always remembered coming back to 'The Peanuts Jubilee,' which was (at the time) the only way to find insight into the earlier strips. With Fantagraphic Books, we've been able to see what many of those early years were like. With the latest volume, we've moved into familiar territory with some of the more familiar characters and stories.
In this volume, a number of revelations come about:
-Lucy goes to extreme measures and throws Schroeder's piano to the kite-eating tree.
-Snoopy befriends one of the many birds that hangs around his doghouse, and the friendship with Woodstock is born.
-The Little Red-Haired Girl moves out of the neighborhood.
-The Head-Beagle appears(in name only). Soon after his 'appearance,' Snoopy is promoted to the role...and finds out how hard a job it is.
-Snoopy becomes the first beagle on the moon.
Some of the comics in this collection have been seen in some previous collections, but most cut out some of the key bits. One example was a previous Peanuts collection that showed the aftermath of the Little Red-Haired Girl moving away, but not what came before.
One note to make is that there appear to be two different versions of this volume. If you purchase the volume as a single book, it includes a 3-panel strip that was not included in the previous volume. The version that comes in the 2-book set (The Complete Peanuts 1967-1970) does not have the missing strip. |

NEAR TWO DECADES STANDARDS MAINTAINED! |
|
While perhaps not quite as consistent as the mid 50's to mid 60's strips this collection is still superior to almost anything else around. I'll be collecting these sets for a while yet! |
