The fine folks at Escape Pod Comics in Huntington, New York got in a load of Hallmark minibooks, and among them was a copy of A Letter From Me, which was a hole in the AAUGH.com Reference Library. It’s a cute little storybook. Charlie Brown is trying to write a letter, …

We now have the covers for this fall’s Peanuts releases from Fantagraphics – although Fantagraphics often reworks their covers in the months leading to release.
