Since their original publication, Peanuts Sundays have almost always been collected and reprinted in black and white, and generations of Peanuts fans have grown up enjoying this iteration of these strips. But many who read Peanuts in their original Sunday papers remain fond of the striking coloring, which makes for a surprisingly different reading experience. It is for these fans (and for Peanuts fans in general who want to experience this alternate/original version) that we now present a series of larger, Sundays-only Peanuts reprints. As with most strips, Peanuts showed by far the quickest and richest development in its first decade, and Peanuts Every Sunday: 1952-1955, by compiling every strip from the first four years, offers a fascinating peek at Schulz's evolving creative process. Not only does the graphic side of the strips change drastically, from the strip's initial stiff, ultra-simple stylizations through a period of uncommonly lush, detailed drawings to something close to the final, elegant Peanuts style we've all come to know and love, but several main characters are gradually introduced oddly enough, usually as infants who would then grow up to full, articulate Peanut-hood! and then refined: Schroeder, Lucy, and Linus.

Although Fantagraphics’ ongoing project reprinting Peanuts’ entire 50-year run has been a welcome endeavor, something was missing: to match the daily strips, the Sunday episodes appeared in black and white at a much-reduced size. A new, complementary series from the publisher rectifies this by collecting the Sunday episodes in a full-color, coffee-table format. Over the course of the strip’s first four years, from 1952 through 1955, collected in this initial volume, we see the rapid development of the cast, as Charlie Brown evolves from a generally carefree tyke into a self-depreciating neurotic; Lucy—originally younger than the rest of the cast—becomes the bossy fussbudget fans recognize; and Snoopy begins his gradual process of anthropomorphization. These early strips also introduce such beloved tropes as Charlie Brown’s ongoing struggle with kites, Linus’ security blanket, and Schroeder’s affinity for Beethoven. By the end of the volume, Schulz has pared down his backgrounds to arrive at his distinctively economical visual style, but the enhancement of the collection’s larger size and restored color makes these simple drawings look positively sumptuous. --Gordon Flagg

“These are beautiful books. Full color dust jackets and numbered bindings make for books that look great next to each other on the shelf. But you’ll need a big shelf. [F]or the fan, they are a collection absolutely worth having.”
