Upcoming books of Schulz interviews and Sundays

Upcoming releases

Coming from Fantagraphics in October is “What Cartooning Really Is”: The Major Interviews with Charles Schulz. This offers up four interviews with Sparky, conducted by Fantagraphics head Gary Groth, film critic Leonard Maltin, novelist Laurie Colwin, and comics historian Rick Marschall.

and the box set that covers that entire decade:

Volume 14 of the paperback rerelease of The Complete Peanuts:
