by Charles M. Schulz introduction by Hal Hartley (!) Yes, the glory days of Peanuts roll on, one perfect strip after another.  The highlights this time around include the first Snoopy "dogfights" with The Red Baron as well as his first forays into writing (you remember:  "It was a dark and stormy night...") as well as the first appearance of Peppermint Patty.  This volume's introduction, by one of our favorite contemporary film makers, Hal Hartley (Henry Fool, Fay Grim, etc.), provides further proof of just how pervasive the influence of Peanuts truly was, and is.  To learn more about this series, please visit our Complete Peanuts page.  (P.S. -- the background cover color on the actual book is green, not blue as in the image above)
