Artist’s Edition date set

Probably not the real valentine
Amazon has posted this cover for the January 2015 release of another small hardcover strip collection from Fantagraphics, A Valentine for Charlie Brown: Now, usually I would say that this is the cover for the book… but Fantagraphics pretty regularly changes their covers from the initial solicitation, and not just in minor …
What’s up with the Artist’s Edition
I’m starting to get emails asking about where that big Peanuts Artist’s Edition that Amazon said would ship at the end of April is. It’s not out yet. It’s not just Amazon who doesn’t have it yet. Nobody does. The book is late…. but not unexpectedly so. Publishers who focus …
