CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN WITH GOOD FRIENDS,
SPOOKY FUN, AND PLENTY OF LAUGHS!

Give yourself a treat (no tricks attached!) with this hilarious collection of more than one hundred Halloween strips. Tag along as the Peanuts Gang rings doorbells for candy, bobs for apples, and scares their friends. Will Charlie Brown receive some chocolate this year or another sack of rocks? Which of Snoopy's many daydreams will inspire a costume? Which witch is Lucy? And will Linus finally meet the Great Pumpkin? Interspersed throughout these delightful comic strips are cool Halloween tips, including costume ideas, party hints, and delicious snack recipes.

This first volume, covering the first two and a quarter years of the strip, will be of particular fascination to Peanuts aficionados worldwide: Although there have been literally hundreds of Peanuts books published, many of the strips from the series' first two or three years have never been collected before—in large part because they showed a young Schulz working out the kinks in his new strip and include some characterizations and designs that are quite different from the cast we're all familiar with. (Among other things, three major cast members—Schroeder, Lucy, and Linus—initially show up as infants and only 'grow' into their final 'mature' selves as the months go by. Even Snoopy debuts as a puppy!) Thus The Complete Peanuts offers a unique chance to see a master of the art form refine his skills and solidify his universe, day by day, week by week, month by month.

This volume is rounded out with Garrison Keillor's introduction, a biographical essay by David Michaelis (Schulz and Peanuts) and an in-depth interview with Schulz conducted in 1987 by Gary Groth and Rick Marschall, all wrapped in a gorgeous design by award-winning cartoonist Seth.

The bases are loaded with potential runs, but Charlie Brown's head is loaded with irksome questions: Will he throw the ball right? Is the little red-haired girl watching? Will Lucy call him Blockhead? It doesn't help that the seasoned pro at the plate, Peppermint Patty, is staring him down. So Charlie Brown shuffles, winds up, and lets the pitch fly. . . .

Though we all know how the score will add up for Charlie Brown and his team (not quite as high as they expected), with the Peanuts gang, the fun is not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game!

First published in 1968, this contemporary case for vigorous Christian faith –– profusely illustrated by Charles Schulz's delightful peanuts cartoon strips –– sheds more light on the Christian faith and how it is to be lived than many more 'serious' theological works, with hundreds of cartoons featuring your favorite peanuts characters Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, And of course, Snoopy (including the earliest red baron strips).

I could not possibly be more pleased.' ––Charles Schulz, creator of Peanuts

THE WORLD LOVES LUCY!

Five cents is a bargain for great advice. Especially when it's coming from Lucy Van Pelt! So what if she has a reputation for being a little bossy, a little crabby. And when she pulls that football away from Charlie Brown (just when he thinks this time he might actually kick it) she's really doing it for his own good. These sorts of things build character. So join Lucy and the whole Peanuts gang in this wonderful new collection of old favorites–and you'll see that as long as you do exactly what Lucy says, everything will be just fine!
