The Big Book of Peanuts: All the Daily Strips from the 1990s

All of the Peanuts comic strips from Jan. 1, 1990, through the daily strip’s conclusion in January 2000, including an introductory essay and notes about the evolution of the strip in its final decade.

Unleash the heavy hitters! The Big Book of Peanuts is a comprehensive collection that organizes Peanuts comics by decade, and in my opinion, it’s the ultimate way to experience Charles Schulz’s masterpiece. It allows readers to trace Schulz’s artistic and thematic evolution through each era, offering a fascinating way to study his work. While there are plenty of Peanuts collections available, this one stands out as an unparalleled journey through the most monumental body of work ever created by a single cartoonist.

The Big Book of Peanuts: All the Daily Strips from the 1990s showcases a lesser-known period in Schulz’s career. By then, much of his most iconic work had been adapted into TV specials and mined for other media, making this era less celebrated. However, it introduces new characters who were used more sparingly in the strip’s continuity, offering a fresh perspective on the Peanuts universe. Schulz’s art during this time remains excellent, perhaps showing a slight shakiness but still exhibiting the brilliance of his unique style. The quiet, subtle expansion of the Peanuts world during these years deserves more recognition, as Schulz continued to push the boundaries of his universe in small, often overlooked ways.

The final decade of daily strips from Charles Schulz’s half-century of Peanuts is presented here all in one place. Featuring all the adventures of Snoopy, Woodstock, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Sally, Peppermint Patty, and all the rest of the Peanuts Gang, this book includes all of the hilarious and heartwarming comics from 1990 through the daily strip’s finale in January 2000. With over 3,000 comic strips all in one place, as well as historical trivia about the comic strip and characters, this hardcover book is the perfect gift for the Peanuts lover in your life.
