As Peanuts hits the mid-’80s, Peppermint Patty and Snoopy’s brother Spike take starring roles.

This volume of The Complete Peanuts is particularly romance-heavy as the Charlie Brown/Peppermint Patty/Marcie triangle heats up; love blossoms between two of the “Beagle Scout” birds; and Linus still refuses to be Sally’s “Sweet Babboo”! Meanwhile, Peppermint Patty goes to the “sleep disorders center” to find out why she’s always nodding off in class; Charlie Brown becomes, in his worst baseball-related humiliation to date, the mascot of Peppermint Patty’s “Pelicans”; Linus finally gives up his security blanket once and for all; and Snoopy’s brother Spike pops up in hilarious, deadpan vignettes set in far-flung Needles, California.

The Complete Peanuts is the reprint project that launched a renaissance in comic strip publishing and the only place Charles M. Schulz’s classic has ever been collected in its entirety. Featuring impeccable production values, each volume of this series features two successive years of newspaper strips (dailies and Sundays), plus bonus material such as celebrity introductions, interviews, and a brief biography of Schulz himself.

“Encountering Peanuts for the first time is a treat, like rekindling an old friendship.” ― Leonard Maltin, from his foreword

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Charles M. Schulz was born November 25, 1922, in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip Barney Google). His ambition from a young age was to be a cartoonist and his first success was selling 17 cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post between 1948 and 1950. He also sold a weekly comic feature called Li'l Folks to the local St. Paul Pioneer Press. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.

He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates and in the spring of 1950, United Feature Syndicate expressed interest in Li'l Folks. They bought the strip, renaming it Peanuts, a title Schulz always loathed. The first Peanuts daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952. Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day-and the day before his last strip was published, having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand ― an unmatched achievement in comics.

Leonard Maltin is best known as a film critic, who, for many years, released an eponymous movie review guide.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Charles M. Schulz was born November 25, 1922 in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip Barney Google).

In his senior year in high school, his mother noticed an ad in a local newspaper for a correspondence school, Federal Schools (later called Art Instruction Schools). Schulz passed the talent test, completed the course and began trying, unsuccessfully, to sell gag cartoons to magazines. (His first published drawing was of his dog, Spike, and appeared in a 1937 Ripley's Believe It Or Not! installment.) Between 1948 and 1950, he succeeded in selling 17 cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post—as well as, to the local St. Paul Pioneer Press, a weekly comic feature called Li'l Folks. It was run in the women's section and paid $10 a week. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.

He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates. In the spring of 1950, he received a letter from the United Feature Syndicate, announcing their interest in his submission, Li'l Folks. Schulz boarded a train in June for New York City; more interested in doing a strip than a panel, he also brought along the first installments of what would become Peanuts—and that was what sold. (The title, which Schulz loathed to his dying day, was imposed by the syndicate). The first Peanuts daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952.

Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day—and the day before his last strip was published—having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand—an unmatched achievement in comics.

Still worthy of your time to read and enjoy.

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2012

The Complete Peanuts, 1983-1984 (Vol. 17) is another installment on what will be the complete republication of all of the Peanuts comic panels. On the one hand it seems hard to believe we're already to volume 17 and yet there seems so much more to go.

The 1983-1984 edition continues some of the more established storylines. Snoopy and his World War I flying ace, Charlie Browns continuing search of a Valentines card, Lucy's love affair Schroeder, Snoopy's brother Spike's adventures in the desert, as well as the Great Pumpkin and more are included. Also, some interesting new elements. Peppermint Patti's dismal progress in school results in failure to be promoted in school. During the summer she tour's Europe with her father. Spike's infatuation with a girl in a red pickup truck is also launched in this volume.

I did notice that Charlie Brown avoids Lucy's trick of pulling the football away at the last minute which shows some real growth for this character.

For confirmed Peanuts fans there is much here to read and cherish. Again, I found myself thinking back to memories for these two years. In this case, the birth of my youngest daughter on July 18, 1983 as I read the panel for that day. Other memories surfaced as well.

I highly recommend The Complete Peanuts, 1983-1984.

More Joy from Charles Schulz

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2012

Verified Purchase

We're now getting into the period of Peanuts that I can remember reading in the paper when I was growing up. Some of the themes are old ones for the strip, but they hold up well, and spoke especially strongly to a reader coming to them for the first time.

In rereading these strips, I noticed that Peppermint Patty figures rather strongly during this period. Though I never struggled as a student myself, her D-minuses and being held back in school must have spoken strongly to those of us working through those pressure-packed years. And you can't miss the joys of Snoopy, Spike, and Woodstock in these pages either.

Any reader of my reviews knows how much I love Peanuts. There's certainly nothing to disappoint here.

The Complete Peanuts Collection from Amazon

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

I have purchased three copies of each volume of The Complete Peanuts collection. Each time a new book is issued, my son and two son-in-laws receive them as Christmas gifts. They are always thrilled to get the additional books and will be able to complete the collection some day. My son-in-law and daughter have three children. Whenever Peter receives a new Charlie Brown edition, he reads it to the children in the evenings. This keeps Charlie Brown alive to the next generation! I started each collection with the issue of Volume1, have Volume 17 in triplicate already, and will soon pre-order Volume 18.

Sul contenuto direi che è inutile recensire vero? Per l'edizione è molto bella per un regalo, robusta e cmq leggibile. Ecco forse leggermente più piccola e maneggevole sarebbe stato meglio. Anche il prezzo poteva forse essere più contenuto.
È anche vero che in libreria fanno un figurone per essere fumetti!

Sind wir nicht alle peanuts...

Reviewed in Germany on August 26, 2012

Verified Purchase

Eigentlich sind Peanuts ein literarisch-zeichnerisches Kulturgut, das man nicht mehr vorstellen muss. Warum ? Die "Short Stories" in Comic-Form sind hintergründig, manchmal absurd-komisch und bisweilen kindlich-banal, dass wir darüber schmunzeln müssen - auch weil wir uns nicht selten in irgendeiner Entwicklungsphase unseres Lebens darin wieder finden können. Immer aber sind die Protagonisten sympathisch - Kinder und Tiere eben. Erwachsene fehlen in der figürlichen Peanuts-Darstellung stets. Ein Schelm, wer dabei Böses denkt. Die Buchdruckqualität kann überzeugen und die Bindung wird viele Schmökerstunden überstehen.

Not just for collectors

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 11, 2012

Verified Purchase

Having lost touch with Peanuts around the early 80's I am reading most off these for the first time. Until now I had it in my mind that Schultz had gone off the boil around this time. Definitely not the case, it may have changed and had certainly evolved but it is still as sharp and funny as ever. I guess most of the people buying these collections are already solid fans faithfully collecting each new book every six months for the last 9 years or so but each book is a delight in it's own right so if you just fancy a peanuts book or know someone who would then go for it.

I would also recommend the book Charles M. Schulz: Conversations (Conversations with Comic Artists) as well primarly for the last interview with Gary Groth who manages to get at least a little way past the protective fence Schultz stands behind in most of his interviews.
