Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery, in association with the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center, is pleased to present "Unseen Peanuts." This collection of full size, rarely seen Peanuts strips opens with a daylong preview on Friday, November 23 from 11:30 until 8:00 PM, highlighted by an "Unseen Peanuts" slide presentation by Fantagraphics Books co-publisher Kim Thompson at 6:00 PM. The public of all ages is invited to this free event.
Perhaps no American artist is more closely associated with the holidays than Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. Kim Thompson, co-editor of the Complete Peanuts series, points out that even though Peanuts is the most-reprinted comic strip in history, several thousand strips had never been collected until The Complete Peanuts project began in 2004. The show includes a companion 32-page "Unseen Peanuts" comic book catalogue featuring over 150 more of these "lost" strips. This fully annotated publication is available for free with any purchase exclusively at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery. Also, Fantagraphics Books and the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center have produced a limited-edition silkscreen Peanuts print that will be available exclusively at the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery while supplies last (pictured below).
