Charles M. Schulz's beloved comic strip Peanuts has largely been collected and reprinted in black and white. But many who read the comic strip during its original newspaper run remain fond of its brightly colored Sunday pages, which made for a surprisingly different and fulfilling reading experience. Our Peanuts Every Sunday series collects all of the Peanuts Sunday strips, scrupulously restored and re-colored to look better than they ever have. These gorgeous, oversized softcover editions allow fans and new readers to immerse themselves in Schulz's timeless masterpiece. The debut volume in this series, Peanuts Every Sunday: 1952-1955, compiles the first four years of the strip. This collection offers a fascinating peek at Schulz's creative process, as iconic characters such as Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Schroeder, Linus, and Lucy quickly evolve from their initial renderings to the elegant stylizations we've all come to know and love.Peanuts -- beloved characters, iconic gags, drawing that

At last, Fantagraphics presents Carl Barks's very first Donald Duck stories! This is where it all started, as Carl Barks took control of Donald Duck's comic book adventures and began a series of clever, creative, complex, and comedic stories that would continue under his cartooning brilliance for more than 20 years -- and guarantee his place in comics history. Volume 1 in The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library is, naturally, filled with firsts: Barks's first comic book story (starring Pluto), the first Donald Duck story created for an American comic book (and also the first to see Donald and his nephews go on a treasure hunt), Barks's first Donald 10-pager, Barks's first truly solo Donald Duck story, and Barks's first solo longer-form Donald Duck adventure ("The Mummy's Ring"). With more than 200 pages of story and art, each meticulously restored and newly colored, and the insightful story notes by an international panel of Barks experts, this long-awaited collection of stories makes c

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

The seven-foot Dirk Nowitzki is one of the great players in basketball history. With a devastating fadeaway and unexpected agility, the Dallas Mavericks superstar helped to pioneer the modern three-shooting game and became a global ambassador for the sport. Award-winning novelist and sportswriter Thomas Pletzinger traveled with Nowitzki for more than seven years, seeking the secret of his success and longevity. In novelistic detail, Pletzinger tells the dramatic story of how a lanky kid from the German suburbs became a top-five all-time scorer and NBA champion. He profiles the revolutionary training methods developed by Holger Geschwindner, Dirk's enigmatic mentor and coach, whose philosophical insights on performance, creativity, and freedom shaped Dirk's game.A masterpiece of sports journalism and a work of personal obsession--akin to John McPhee's A Sense of Where You Are and David Halberstam's The Breaks of the Game--The Great Nowitzki brims with a fan's passion and offers an intim
