For those of us who grew up in the 1960's Peanuts was the paragon of subtle wit and insight into our cultural minds. We could live vicariously in the dancing of Snoopy, his triumphs over the Red Baron, and his material excesses(a house with a Van Gogh, no less). We could sigh along with Charlie Brown, philospophize with Linus, and argue with Lucy. This collection continues the daily progression of the characters as they navigate the turbulent 1960's and gave us all something we could share in common every day in the paper.

The Complete Peanuts is definitely complete! It's a real collectors' item!
Each book contains 2 complete years of Peanuts - the funniest comic strip of all time (IMHO). So this two-book set contains four complete years of Peanuts - all the strips that were published between 1963-1966.
Note that both books included in the boxed set are exactly the same ones that are sold separately. The books also contain full book jackets (i.e. if desired can be shelved separately). As of this review date it is cheaper to buy the two-book set than to buy them separately at Amazon and we get an added attractive slipcase with the two-book set.
Unfortunately the Sunday strips are in black and white - a minor gripe. However other such comic strip collections (including Calvin and Hobbs) have the Sunday ones in color.
Recommended.
(Note: I have essentially copied my review of the other peanuts sets for this one)

This collection from Fantagraphics Comics is sooo beautiful! Besides having the whole Peanuts production, the box sets are collector items themselves with brilliant forwards and an overall excellent graphic packaging.
In one of the volume a note from the Editor explains how in the original of certain strip was damaged or lost and they had to reconstruct somehow. One strip out of 700 of that volume alone and it deserved an explanatory note! This just to give you an idea of how much carefulness and passion is behind this Peanuts collection.
A must!

Come on! It's the Peanuts! Quit reading the reviews and start reading this set. Besides, if you have to read the reviews, you haven't read the Peanuts.

My wife is getting every one of these when they come out, and she couldn't be much happier.
