The Complete Peanuts Volume 8: 1965-1966

The eighth complete Peanuts comic strip collection. In The Complete Peanuts 1965-66 we are now in the mid-1960s – one of Schulz’s peak periods of creativity (and one-third of the way through the strip’s life!). Snoopy has become the strip’s dominant personality, and this volume marks two milestones for the character- the first of many ‘dogfights’ with the nefarious Red Baron, and the launch of his writing career (‘It was a dark and stormy night…’). Two new characters – the first from outside the comic strip’s regular little neighborhood – make their bows. Roy (who befriends Charlie Brown and then Linus at summer camp) won’t have a lasting impact, but upon his return from camp he regales a friend of his with tales of the strange kids he met, and she has to check them out for herself. Her name? Peppermint Patty. The Complete Peanuts 1965-66 features a new introduction by Hal Hartley, writer/director of acclaimed independent films Trust, Henry Fool, Kimono, Simple Men, The Unbelievable Truth , and Fay Grim . —- ISBN: 9781847678157 | ISBN10: 1847678157 | ISBN-13: 978-1847678157
