Peanuts volume 6 preview

Upcoming releases

Here’s a preview of Peanuts volume 6, which hits better comic shops this week and is still available for preordering from Amazon. Of course, since this book just reprints issues 17-20 of the Boom Press/Kaboom! Peanuts comic book series, this preview is basically a post-view of the first ten pages of a story from issue 17… but hey, it’s here on the blog! You can read it for free! Click any page to enlarge. (And hey, if you enlarge the Table of Contents pages, you’ll see my name twice. There are two stories that I wrote in this volume, although no the one shown in the preview.)
