Peanuts #3

Charles M. Schulz's beloved gang takes the field in this cheerful 2012 issue from KaBOOM!, as the cover erupts in baseball chaos — Charlie Brown's big swing sends a wild trail spiraling across the diamond, leaving Lucy spinning at her position, Snoopy peering up from the foreground in his team cap, and Linus, Schroeder, Peppermint Patty, and Franklin all reacting with wonderfully expressive alarm. The sheer energy of the composition, with stars and motion lines flying in every direction, captures everything endearing about the Peanuts gang's perennially hapless sporting adventures. At $3.99, it's a warm and thoroughly fun addition to KaBOOM!'s ongoing series.
