This volume covers her earliest days from her proud brothers announcement of her birth to her first words (and crush on Linus)! Also: the initial Great Pumpkin sequence; Lucys first appearance as a nickel psychiatrist; Linuss short-lived & one-sided romance with his beloved teacher Miss Othmar; & Snoopys battle with the doghouse-destroying freeway bypass. All this plus two of the most famous Peanuts strips of all time: the clouds Sunday that Schulz cites as his personal favourite & Happiness is a warm puppy. ...

In The Complete Peanuts 1963-64: this volume is particularly rich in never-before-reprinted strips: Over 150 (more than one fifth of the book!) have never seen the light of day since their original appearance over 40 years ago so this will be a trove of undiscovered treasures even for avid Peanuts collectors. These lost" strips include Linus making a near-successful run for class president that is ultimately derailed by his religious beliefs (two words: "great" & "pumpkin") & Snoopy getting involved with a group of politically fanatical birds. One wonders: Was it the political edge in these stories that got them consigned to oblivion for so long? Also worthy of note is an extended never-reprinted sequence in which Snoopy gets ill & heads to the veterinarian hospital... Also in this

Volume:
Lucy's attempts at improving her friends branches out from her increasingly well-visited nickel psychiatry booth to an educational slideshow of Charlie Brown's faults (it's so long there's an intermission!). Also Snoopy's doghouse begins its conceptual expansion as Schulz reveals that the dog owns a Van Gogh & that the ceiling is so huge that Linus can paint a vast (and as it turns out unappreciated) "history of civilisation" mural on it. With an introduction by Bill Melendez."

In The Complete Peanuts 1965-66: We are now in the mid-1960s one of Schulzs peak periods of creativity (and one third of the way through the strips life!). Snoopy has become the strips dominant personality & this volume marks two milestones for the character: the first of many dogfights" with the nefarious Red Baron & the launch of his writing career (" It was a dark & stormy night..."). Two new characters-the first two from outside the strips regular little neighborhood-make their bows. Roy (who befriends Charlie Brown & then Linus at summer camp) wont have a lasting impact but upon his return from camp he regales a friend of his with tales of the strange kids he met & she has to go check them out for herself. Her name? Peppermint Patty. The Complete Peanuts 1965-66 features a new introduction by Hal Hartley writer/director of acclaimed independent films Trust Henry Fool Kimono Simple Men The Unbelievable Truth & Fay Grim." ...

As we rush toward the end of Peanuts' second full decade Snoopy finds himself almost completely engrossed in his persona as the World War I Flying Ace. Still Snoopy looms large so this volume (a particularly Snoopy-heavy one) sees him arm-wrestling Lucy as the Masked Marvel" & then taking off for Petaluma for the national arm-wrestling championship; impersonating a vulture & a " Cheshire Beagle"; enjoying golf & hockey; attempting a jaunt to France for an ice-skating championship; running for office on the " Paw" ticket; being traded to Peppermint Patty's baseball team then un-traded & installed as team manager by a guilt-ridden Charlie Brown; as well as dealing with the return of his original owner Lila. Peppermint Patty working toward her ascendancy as one of the major Peanuts players in the 1970s & 1980s also has several major turns including a storyline in which she's the tent monitor for three little girls (who call her " Sir"
- a joke Schulz would pick up later with Peppermint Patty's friend Marcie). Linus's flippant comment to his Gramma that he'll kick his blanket habit when she kicks her smoking habit backfires; Lucy bullies Linus pesters Schroeder & organizes a "crab-in"; plus Charlie Brown copes with Valentine's Day depression the Little Red-Haired Girl the increasingly malevolent kite-eating tree & baseball losses. In other words: Vintage Peanuts! All this plus an introduction by beloved transgressive filmmaker John Waters & award-winning design by Seth."

The 12th volume of Peanuts features a number of tennis strips & several extended sequences involving Peppermint Patty's friend Marcie (including a riotous rarely seen sequence in which Marcie's costume-making & hairstyling skills utterly spoil a skating competition for PP) so it seems only right that this volume's introduction should be served up by Schulz's longtime friend tennis champion (and 2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient) Billie Jean King. This volume also picks up on a few loose threads from the previous year as the mysterious Poochie" shows up in the flesh; Linus & Lucy's new kid brother " Rerun" makes his first appearance is almost immediately drafted onto the baseball team (where thanks to his tiny strike zone he wins a game) & embarks on his first terrifying journey on the back of his mom's bike; & in one of Peanuts' oddest recurring storylines the schoolhouse Sally used to talk to starts talking or at least thinking back at her! The Complete Peanuts 1973-1974 also

Includes::
one of the all-time classic Peanuts sequences in which Charlie Brown's baseball-oriented hallucinations finally manifest themselves in a baseball-shaped rash on his head. Forced to conceal the embarrassing discoloration with a bag worn over his head Charlie Brown goes to camp as " Mister Sack" & discovers that shorn of his identity he's suddenly well liked & successful."
