The Complete Peanuts #8

This handsome eighth volume from Panini Comics' Italian edition of The Complete Peanuts presents Charles Schulz's beloved strips from 1965–1966, with Schulz himself credited for both the pencils and inks on the cover. That cover keeps things charmingly simple: a close-up of the round-headed Charlie Brown rendered in soft greens and greys, his familiar expression capturing the gentle, thoughtful melancholy that made him one of comics' most enduring figures. A wonderful addition to any Schulz collection, bringing two more years of his quietly brilliant daily storytelling together in one elegant 2010 package.
