Peanuts - A Golden Celebration: The Art and the Story of the World's Best-Loved Comic Strip

Honors the art of Schulz and 50 years of Peanuts. Schulz shares vivid recollections of how he came to create America's most beloved characters out of fond but often painful memories of his childhood. Includes photographs of Schulz at war, plus over 1,000 strips--including Sunday strips in full color--beginning with the first in 1950. Lots of early strips, some color and some black and white, and a nice illustrated look at his cartoon influences, including Roy Crane, Caniff and Herriman's Krazy Kat.
