This beautiful album will dazzle the fans of Charles M. Schulz and his art, providing an unprecedented look at the work of the most brilliant and beloved cartoonist of the twentieth century. More than five hundred comic strips are reproduced, as well as such rare or never-before-seen items as a sketchbook from his army days in the early 1940s; his very first printed strip, 'Just Keep Laughing'; his private scrapbook of pre-Peanuts strips; developmental sketches for the first versions of Charlie Brown and the other Peanuts characters; a sketchbook from 1963; and many more materials gathered from the Schulz archives in Santa Rosa, California.

Includes an introduction by Jean Schulz. Edited by Chip Kidd. 336 pages. Paperback.
