Synopsis:

Collects the 11th and 12th volumes of The Complete Peanuts in a handsome slipcase, with intros by television, Broadway and film star Kristin (Pushing Daisies, Wicked) Chenoweth and all-star tennis champion Billie Jean King! Schulz is at the peak of his powers and influence in The CompletePeanuts 1971-1972 and The CompletePeanuts 1973-1974. In Vol. 11, Sally Brown - school phobia, malapropisms, unrequited love for Linus and all - elbows her way to center stage, at least among the humans, and is thus the logical choice for cover girl... And Vol. 12 takes a bike ride with Rerun (his first!) and Charlie Brown is finally well-liked and successful ... as long as he maintains his alter ego “Mister Sack,” i.e., keeps a bag over his head. For fans of the character, both books are Woodstock-heavy!

Review: Like all geniuses, Schulz blended influences in a fashion never before seen.

Schulz is the pioneer of the sadness of little children. It turns out to be not so different from the sadness of adults.--Lev Grossman

A "must have" for collectors of Charles Schulz's work, highly recommended.--James A. Cox

Schulz's ground breaking strip is certainly worth celebrating...

It's impossible to think of another popular art form that reaches across generations the way the daily comic strip does...at the pinnacle of that long tradition, there was Charles Schulz.
