Critic Reviews

“...as powerful a comic art-piece as anything out today...will delight Peanuts aficionados.”

Observer 20071027 ...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 20071027 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 20071202
