Peanuts 10 cover
Here’s the preview cover for the 10th volume collecting the KaBOOM Peanuts comic book stories. I swiped the image from the website of the Simon&Schuster, who take care of getting Boom publications to the book stores. And also on that sight you’ll find Schulz’s name misspelled on their listing for …
Peanuts Volume 10
As suspected, KaBOOM has now announced a 10th volume in their trade paperback reprints of their Peanuts comic book series. I’m not fully sure how they are splitting up the regular issues and specials through these last couple volumes, but unless there’s something going on that I’m missing (always possible), …
The man who pitted Snoopy against the Red Baron
Coming in March is Phil Gernhard, Record Man, a biography written by Bill DeYoung. Gernhard, a record producer who (according to the promo blurb) had a life filled with addictions, wives, and demons that ended in suicide in 2008, has a very specific place in Peanuts history: he’s the guy who …
A Charlie Brown Christmas tree-based product
Coming out next year from Running Press is A Charlie Brown Christmas Wooden Collectible Set. Priced at $9.99 and currently listed as a 32-page paperback, this is likely one of their “kits”, little boxed sets. Often, their sets include a book or pamphlet, but I really don’t have details on this …
Getting back to the right holiday
Yesterday, I did a post about a Christmas book… and yes, it’s horrible, Christmas is set upon us already when it’s multiple holidays away. So let me get back to the appropriate holiday for AAUGHtober. That’s right, let’s talk about Halloween… 2018. Coming out for that holiday are two new …
Snoopy Came To Play
Most people will look at Vikki Scott’s cover of next June’s new storybook Snoopy Came to Play and assume that he came to play tennis – but no! He came to play badminton. How can you tell? He has a birdie! And that’s why I make the big bloggin’ bucks, …
Babboo denial!
Here’s the cover to the upcoming strip collection I’m Not Your Sweet Babboo! This is part of the full-color Peanuts Kids (formerly AMP) line of strip reprints. It ships next March, but you can preorder now.
Back to the beginning of Franklin
One of the interesting things to watch in the way Peanuts is being handled these days is a greater emphasis on Franklin – for a long time, he was basically absent on products, but now he’s regularly included in figurines and the various gewgaws. This was blatant during the promotion …
Complete Peanuts cover
This is the announced cover for the paperback edition of The Complete Peanuts 1967-1968, coming out next May. These paperback covers sure are warmer and friendlier than the hardcover (in a design sense, I mean; this particular cover is clearly pretty mean.)
Peanuts for the Soul
For British book buyers, next month brings Peanuts for the Soul, a strip collection focused on philisophical and at times encouraging strips.
