Charlie Brown's 'Cyclopedia

From 1980 onward, Funk & Wagnalls published Charlie Brown's 'Cyclopedia, a 15-issue educational comic series that blended the beloved Peanuts characters with nonfiction subjects. Each issue focused on a different topic—such as science, history, or nature—using Charles Schulz's classic art and gentle humor to make learning accessible for young readers. The series stands as a charming, era-specific example of how comics were used as tools for informal education, pairing a trusted children's property with encyclopedic content.
