The third volume in Canongate's acclaimed series arrives with a specially commissioned introduction from The Simpsons' Matt Groening. This beautiful new edition takes us into the mid-1950s as Linus learns to talk, Snoopy begins to explore his eccentricities, Lucy's unrequited crush on Schroeder takes final shape, and Charlie Brown becomes . well, even more Charlie Brown-ish.

Reviews for Complete Peanuts 1955-1956 (#3 Volume)

...as powerful a comic art-piece as anything out today...will delight Peanuts aficionados. * Observer * ...these timely re-issues illustrate not only the skill and subtle brilliance of his work but also the origins of the form beyond simple merriment. * The List * Beautifully designed ... One of the high-water marks of post-war popular culture. * Daily Telegraph * Canongate has had the brilliant wheeze of reprinting Charles Schultz's strip cartoon from the beginning in hardback volumes... * Herald * The Complete Peanuts is beautifully bound, a comprehensive resource and, with an index and introduction, a useful contextualisation of a modern legend. * The Skinny * ...in these first volumes (1950-54), we can already see what will appeal to 21st century readers. * Sunday Times *
