Woodstock propels "Peanuts" into the 1970s, in this collection that gathers all the strips published between 1967 and 1970. Two 344 page books.
Annotation:
During its first 20 years, Charles Schulz's comic took hold of America's imagination as it reflected the culture's obsessions, challenges, zeitgeists, anxieties, and progressive efforts. This box set, authoritatively held together by graphic artist Seth's charming design, collects the complete published Peanuts cartoons from 1967 to 1970: Schulz's youthful gang witnesses, comments on, and participates in some of America's most dynamic years. In these pages there are plenty of classic gags (the kite-eating tree, blanket woes, Red Baron battles, baseball games, unrequited love, Beethoven) as well some substantive developments (the strip's first black character appears, feminism gets addressed). John Waters and Mo Willems offer insightful introductions.
