Complete Peanuts volume 26: Comics and Stories is now shipping. This is the final volume of the series, and as I’ve told you before, this is the one that I helped put together, filling it with Schulz Peanuts material that wasn’t part of the daily newspaper strip. Storybooks, comic book stories, tales done for magazines, dozens of strips done for ads, pieces done for golf programs, spot illustrations done for various uses, plus all the single-panel cartoons Schulz did for the Saturday Evening Post. Most of this stuff has not been in print in decades, with lots of items that have never been in any book before.

Even if you haven’t been going complete on The Complete Peanuts, this is a good book to get. It shows Peanuts in a lot of different forms. While it has examples from various parts of the strip’s run, it leans more toward the first half, which many people prefer. Get it for a friend, who hasn’t seen this stuff. Get it for me… not to give me a copy, but because I’ve got a bet in with the publisher that this volume will out-sell Complete Peanuts 24, which was made up of late-in-the-run material that was and is otherwise in print.

And if you got it, I’d love to hear what you thought of it. Email me at questions@aaugh.com!
