Peanuts comic books a-comin’

The comic book publisher Boom! has announced that as part of their kids line (until recently called Boom! Kids, now called Kaboom), they’re going to be doing some Peanuts comic books. They haven’t announced details yet, and I’m not positive what it is… but I have my suspicions, and will let you know when they are confirmed or denied.

(Boom! Kids published some excellent Muppet Show comics; their Muppet adaptations of classics works of literature were only so-so, but the main Muppet Show series, collected in the books  Meet the Muppets, On the Road, Family Reunion, and The Treasure of Peg-Leg Wilson — I list all 4 because they’re part of Amazon’s buy-3-get-1-free promotion — is excellent, and should entertain any comics-friendly fans of that classic show.)
