Product Description
Tennis, anyone? Billie Jean King serves up an introduction... and we celebrate Woodstock! The twelfth volume of Peanuts features a number of tennis strips and several extended sequences involving Peppermint Patty’s friend Marcie (including a riotous, rarely seen sequence in which Marcie’s costume-making and hairstyling skills utterly spoil a skating competition for PP), so it seems only right that this volume’s introduction should be served up by Schulz’s longtime friend, tennis champion Billie Jean King.
This volume also picks up on a few loose threads from the previous year, as the mysterious “Poochie” shows up in the flesh; Linus and Lucy’s new kid brother “Rerun” makes his first appearance, is almost immediately drafted onto the baseball team (where, thanks to his tiny strike zone, he wins a game), and embarks on his first terrifying journey on the back of his mom’s bike; and, in one of Peanuts’ oddest recurring storylines, the schoolhouse Sally used to talk to starts talking, or at least thinking, back at her!
The Complete Peanuts 1973-1974 also includes one of the all-time classic Peanuts sequences, in which Charlie Brown’s baseball-oriented hallucinations finally manifest themselves in a baseball-shaped rash on his head. Forced to conceal the embarrassing discoloration with a bag worn over his head, Charlie Brown goes to camp as “Mister Sack” and discovers that, shorn of his identity, he’s suddenly well liked and successful. 730 b/w cartoons.

 Wonderful Volume 12 March 14, 2010
Timothy Haugh (New York, NY United States)
We have made it now to volume 12 of these collected Peanuts comic strips. Of course, none of them has needed my commendation. Nor does this one. Readers, young and old, know how great this work is. What you will find in this volume: a nice introduction by Billie Jean King and a number of strips with Snoopy at the tennis courts; nice sequences with Rerun, Marcie and Peppermint Patty; and that wonderful, famous series where Charlie Brown gets a baseball rash on his head and wears a sack over his head when he goes to camp, which works wonderfully well for him! Enjoy.
He's a funny looking kid, but he sure can type. February 12, 2010

This book contains all the Peanuts comic strips from 1973 and 1974. Peanuts was one of the greatest comic strips of all time. Arguably, the strip peaked sometime in the 1960s, but it was still great during this time period. In fact, one of the greatest storylines of all time, "Mr. Sack", occured at this time. And my sister's favorite character, Rerun, makes his first appearance here. Highly recommended to fans of classic comic strips.
Gotta Love Peanuts February 12, 2010

I'm loving every one of these books! My only complaint is I wish they would publish them faster.
It is very cool to be able to read an entire year's worth of Peantus strips in the order in which they appeared in the paper.
I couldn't wait until my parent's would let me have the Funnies so I could read the Peanuts strip.
This is a great way to introduce my kids to the comic strip and they're really enjoying them.
On the practical side, the books are very sturdy and the quality is great. If you buy a boxed set, which includes two books, they come in a nice cardboard sleeve. Each book has a foreword written by someone famous who was close to Charles Schulz. This one is from Billie Jean King. It would be nice if the Sunday strips were in color, but I can live with that.
Keep these books coming, please! There's a lot of years to go!
Fantastic! January 17, 2010

I gave this to my 13 yr. old nephew who is an aspiring artist. Our family grew up with Peanuts and at this point is a tradition for us. We love instilling that humor in to the next generation. My nephew LOVES this book both for the humor and his artist's mind. It is jam packed with comics.

Wonderful collection of strips that bring back fond memories of reading them for the first time. It is truly amazing how timeless the strips are.
