About this Collection

This collection brings together the complete run of the 2004 series It's Only a Game from About Comics, a lighthearted exploration of tabletop roleplaying and geek culture through the lens of its characters. The story follows a group of friends whose gaming sessions blur the lines between fantasy and reality, offering a humorous take on the social dynamics and escapism inherent in the hobby.

"It's Only a Game" is a nostalgic deep dive into Charles M. Schulz’s lesser-known newspaper strip, reprinted in full with insightful commentary by Jim Sasseville. This 2004 issue features the original artwork, concept sketches, a black-and-white photo of fans recreating one of the strips, and a rare Minneapolis Tribune column that unpacks the humor behind the cartoon. A must-have for fans of Schulz’s early work and the cultural footprint of his comics.
