Snoopy Super Boxer

Coming in October is… well, five strip collections that are already out, but now they’re together in a box. The Super Box of Snoopy includes the following books from the Peanuts Kids (previously AMP Kids) line of full-color strip reprints.

  • Snoopy: Cowabunga!
  • Snoopy: Contact!
  • Snoopy: Party Animal
  • Snoopy to the Rescue
  • Snoopy: What’s Wrong with Dog Lips?
