Now, let me make something clear. I am not a Peanuts collector. I am a Peanuts book collector. While I may accumulate other Peanuts stuff in various ways, I have no goal of having a complete set of anything or a great array of everything or any such things. In …

I know this is a Peanuts comics oriented blog, but I’m going to begin this post with a digression (which I’m not sure it technically accurate phrasing; can one truly being something with a digression? But I digress.) In the history of Archie Comics publishing, there is a series titled …

I‘ve just read (from a publisher-supplied PDF – the book hits comic book shops tomorrow and has a bookstore release date in two weeks) the graphic novel adaptation of Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown, and let me tell you – it works. It works largely because they treat …

But at the moment, they’re also offering some tempting prices on other Peanuts animated disks: You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown …

For a while I’ve been keeping an eye on an upcoming book from Ravette Publishing in the UK. Ravette, who have been publishing Peanuts books for a long time, are a bit tough to track – they don’t even have a website that I can find. But the UK branch …

Here is a look at the third Wendy’s book (in order of finding, not in the order of them being issued), courtesy of AAUGH Blog reader Bill: It is copyright 2011, and it does credit Peanuts ownership to United Feature Syndicate. The UFS credit and the simpler bag design – …
