The Complete Peanuts 1977-1978 (Vol. 14)

Many new characters, in one of Schulzâ€™s most creative periods! With an introduction by Alec Baldwin.
As the 1970s wind down, the last two recurring Peanuts characters have fallen into place: Snoopyâ€™s brother Spike and the youngest Van Pelt sibling, Rerun. But that doesnâ€™t mean Schulzâ€™s creativity has diminished; in fact, this volume features an amazing profusion of hilariously distinctive new one- (or two-) shot characters!

For instance, in an epic five-week sequence, when Charlie Brown, found guilty by the EPA of biting the Kite-Eating tree, he goes on the lam and ends up coaching the â€œGoose Eggs,â€ a group of diminutive baseball players, Austin, Ruby, Leland, andâ€•did you know there was a second black Peanuts character, aside from Franklin?â€•Milo.

Also: a tennis-playing Snoopy ends up reluctantly teamed with the extreme Type â€œAâ€ athlete Molly Volley... who then reappears later in the book, now facing off against her nemesis, â€œCrybabyâ€ Boobie. (Honest!) Add in Sallyâ€™s new camp friend Eudora, the thuggish â€œcaddymasterâ€ who shoots down Peppermint Patty and Marcieâ€™s new vocation, an entire hockey team, and a surprise repeat appearance by Linusâ€™s sweetheart â€œTrufflesâ€ (creating a love triangle with Sally), all in addition to the usual cast of beloved characters (including the talking schoolhouse and the doghouse-jigsawing cat, who gets hold of Linusâ€™s blanket in this one), and youâ€™ve got a veritable crowd of characters.

Itâ€™s another two years of the greatest comic strip of all time, full of laughs and surprises. 730 black-and-white comic strips
