In celebration of Peanuts' 65th anniversary, BOOM! has teamed up with some of the greatest cartoonists of the last 50 years to put a personal spin on Charlie Brown, Snoopy and their beloved gang. This collection features never-before seen art styles from Matt Groening (The Simpsons), Jeffrey Brown (Darth Vader and Son), Raina Telgemeier (Smile, Drama), Terry Moore (Strangers in Paradise) and other legendary cartoonists and authors whose love of Charles Schulz's syndicated comic strip influenced a lifelong love of art and storytelling that shaped their careers. Contributions include art from Paige Braddock, Patrick McDonnell (Mutts), Mo Willems (Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!), Jen Wang (In Real Life), Roger Langridge (Snarked, Jim Henson's The Musical Monsters of Turkey Hollow), Art Baltazar (Tiny Titans), Lincoln Peirce (Big Nate), Liz Prince (Tomboy), Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo), Paul Pope (Battling Boy, Batman: Year 100) Evan Dorkin (Sock Monkey, Maakies), and more.… (más)
This was a day read. Mostly an art book. It has reading material, but you get this more for the various artist. Most of the art I really liked, there was only a few I didn't like or I thought were too focused on Marcie and Patty's relationship. My favorite one was the mixing Peanuts with Lovecraft lore. I liked how this brought up the depression and anxiety parts of Peanuts. Good book, nice paper, and big enough to see the art more clearly. ( )
It's a collection of pieces paying tribute to Schulz's work, some of them very personal - one or two of the artists were lucky enough to meet or know Schulz himself, and most of them have some thoughtful things to say about the Peanuts strip, which was pretty progressive for its time. To call attention to a couple of them, Jeremy Sorese has an interesting meditation on where the adults are in the Peanuts universe; Liz Prince explores the Peppermint Patty/Marcia relationship; and Hilary Price recalls a magical afternoon in Santa Rosa. It's a lovely book (apart from the Tony Millionaire contribution, which really misses the mark). ( )
I usually rate anthologies as two or three stars because they just tend to be so uneven. That's not a problem here. The love for Charles M. Schulz and his Peanuts strips pervades the whole book and lifts it up. Special kudos go to Evan Dorkin's Lovecraftian take (best use of Joe Cool I've ever seen), Shaenon K. Garrity's hilarious battle of the wills between Peppermint Patty and Lucy (Pigpen has the funniest line of the book), and Terry Moore's satisfying resolution of Charlie Brown and Lucy's recurring football gag.

As a lifelong Snoopy and Peanuts fan, I am indebted to Charles M. Schulz for years of laughs because of his cartoon characters. Schulz is truly an American legend for his portrayal of this lives of this group of children from every guy Charlie Brown to Snoopy being whoever he fantasizes that day – Joe Cool, WW I Flying Ace, noted author, etc. This book is a compilation of 40 artists lending their artistic talents to Schulz’s characters in their interpretations while they pay homage to the master. I loved it almost as much as the originals! It is obvious that they were touched as well by Schulz. This was a fun trip down memory lane. ( )
