Today’s shipment also includes a new volume of adventures from the Dona Rosa Library, “The Last of the Clan McDuck” and a beautiful box set that makes a perfect present.
And finally, Peanuts Every Sunday 1961-1965 (Vol. 3). Since their original publication, Peanuts Sundays have almost always been collected and reprinted in black and white. But many who read Peanuts in their original Sunday papers remain fond of the striking coloring, which makes for a surprisingly different reading experience. The early-1960s strips of our latest volume comprises the first golden age of Peanuts Sundays in one gorgeous, full-color coffee table book.
