About This Book
Charles Schulz's Peanuts debuted in 1950 and is arguably the most important comic strip of all time. Peanuts transcended the medium, presenting complex issues and moral dilemmas in the space of four panels, while maintaining a bitingly funny sense of humor. Charlie Brown, Lucy Van Pelt, Linus, Schroeder, the Kite Eating Tree, the Great Pumpkin, and, of course, Snoopy... all are embedded in our psyches. Now, for the first time, Schulz's classic creation will be seen in a way as close as possible to the original art created by the artist himself-in IDW's multi-award-winning Artist's Edition format. While appearing to be in black & white, each page of an Artist's Edition has been scanned in COLOR to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art-for example, you are able to clearly see paste-overs, blue pencils in the art, editorial notes, art corrections. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art board. Note: Because of the enormous size Charles Schulz worked, these originals will be reduced in size from the original art.
