Not actually the Peanuts comic book book cover

For some reason, Amazon is showing as the cover for the upcoming book collection of the new Boom! Studios Peanuts comic book the cover of issue zero of the comic… including  the $1 price. Alas, that’s not the real price.

The listing also starts of the “About the Author” with the note “Charles Schulz never missed a day in his 50 years of creating daily and Sunday Peanuts strips for the newspaper”, which is not quite true. He did, after all, take one break, during which reruns were run. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, but of all the great things about Schulz that they could’ve led with, it seems odd to pick something which is not quite true.
