A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

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.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

As America's greatest comic strip leaves the '80s behind and enters its final decade, romantic intrigue abounds along with the introduction of a new character (Snoopy's sibling Olaf) and the divergent story lines of all the regular (and irregular) Peanuts gang. This latest volume includes an introduction by Lemony Snicket himself, Daniel Handler plus scholarly essays about this most over-looked period in the Peanuts canon. And, as usual, a box set combining this latest volume with the previous, complete with slipcase, is available at a bargain price.
