It looks like the round-headed kid will be locked out of the cover spot for the Wendy’s Kids’ Meal books for the eight month in a row, as the title for the new book (due in about a week) is Into the Sky with the Flying Ace. That gives him …

Peanuts is coming back to the comic book world. Boom! Studios, the same folks who published that nice graphic novel adaptation of Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown, have announced a new ongoing Peanuts comic book series from their Kaboom imprint, featuring “all-new stories”.  It starts with an issue …

It’s the It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Look and Find book! This one has been released through the bargain book system rather than through regular book distribution methods. Amazon doesn’t generally carry such books directly, although sometimes they have them listed for third-party sales. BN.com, linked to above, carries …

This new Hallmark edition reprints the …

Schulz draws Batman. Really. (It seems only fair; there is one published Batman story where the entire text was taken from Snoopy’s famed novel.)

I now have my copies of The World’s Greatest Beagle Scout, the seventh of the ten-book run of Peanuts books being distributed.
