Found at Amazon Japan, and actually available to be shipped from Japan via Amazon US: PEANUTS meets SPECIAL PRODUCT DESIGN 2. I assume that’s supposed to be a tan, and not African American Surfing Snoopy… but you never know. The volume comes with a free shopping bag bearing this image.

I’m grooving on these Italian book covers, which use a different text sensibility than one typically sees on Peanuts books. (Click on the book to go to ordering page.)

Shipping in a few weeks is the latest volume in The Complete Peanuts, covering the years 1991-1992. I’ve already got a copy (provided by the publisher, Fantagraphics, with whom I have business dealings on other books), and here are my thoughts on reading through it: The introduction by cartoonist Tom …

This year’s Kaboom! Summer Blast! comic book, given away at comic book shops yesterday, includes the five-page story How To Be A World-Famous Author by Vicki Scott and Paige Braddock, reprinted from issue 14 of volume 2 of the Kaboom! Peanuts comic book, as well as a one Sunday strip reprint. …
