Peanuts Every Sunday: 1956-1960

Seattle WA: Fantagraphics, 2014. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 272 pages, illustrated throughout in color. Light edgewear to dust jacket, else a clean, tight copy. Since their original publication, Peanuts Sundays have almost always been collected and reprinted in black and white. But many who read Peanuts in their original Sunday papers remain fond of the striking coloring, which makes for a surprisingly different reading experience. These late 1950s strips comprise the first golden age of Peanuts Sundays in one gorgeous, full-color coffee table book. Linus, Charlie Brown, Pig-Pen, Shermy, Violet, Sally, Patty, and Schroeder are all present, but the rising star is undoubtedly Snoopy. Peanuts Every Sunday: 1956-1960 has been scrupulously re-colored to match the original syndicate coloring―allowing readers once again to plunge back into Charles Schulz’s marvelous world.
