Collects the 11th and 12th volumes of The Complete Peanuts in a handsome slipcase, with intros by television, Broadway and film star Kristin (Pushing Daisies, Wicked) Chenoweth and all-star tennis champion Billie Jean King! Schulz is at the peak of his powers and influence in The CompletePeanuts 1971-1972 and The CompletePeanuts 1973-1974. In Vol. 11, Sally Brown - school phobia, malapropisms, unrequited love for Linus and all - elbows her way to center stage, at least among the humans, and is thus the logical choice for cover girl... And Vol. 12 takes a bike ride with Rerun (his first!) and Charlie Brown is finally well-liked and successful ... as long as he maintains his alter ego “Mister Sack,” i.e., keeps a bag over his head. For fans of the character, both books are Woodstock-heavy!

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.
