内容简介

The popular, annual gift set continues with the fifth and sixth volumes. Continuing the tradition of the previous two holiday seasons, Fantagraphics presents a deluxe boxed set of the fifth and sixth volumes of "The Complete Peanuts," designed by the award-winning graphic novelist Seth. Shipping shrinkwrapped, with Volumes 1959-1960 and 1961-1962 packed in a sturdy custom box designed especially for this set, it's the perfect gift book item of the season. This set collects almost 1500 daily and Sunday comic strips, the vast majority of which are not currently available in any in-print "Peanuts" collection, and many of which have never been reprinted since heir initial appearance in papers over 50 years ago. Using archival-quality syndicate proofs for virtually every strip in its history, the series boasts the best-looking, crispest reproduction for a classic comic strip ever achieved. "Peanuts" is the most successful comic strip in the history of the medium. A United Media poll in 2002 found "Peanuts" to be the second most recognizable cartoon property in the world, known by 94 percent of the total U.S. consumer market and a close second only to Mickey Mouse (96 percent).
