“You’re 65, Charlie Brown!”

As part of the Peanuts 65th Anniversary, BOOM! Studios imprint KaBOOM! will be releasing a special oversized issue of their ongoing series this February.  Interestingly, while the series has thus far adopted an anthology format, this 32-page issue will feature a full-length original story featuring Charles M. Schulz’s iconic characters.

Check out the press release below for the full details. 

January 21, 2015 (Los Angeles, Calif.) – KaBOOM!, the all-ages imprint of award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios, has had the joy of publishing Peanuts anthology-style comics for over the past two years now. In celebration of Peanuts’ 65th anniversary in 2015, the publisher is pleased to announce the February debut of their first non-anthology issue in Peanuts #25 with an oversized, original story inspired by the masterworks of Charles M. Schulz.

Paige Braddock (Eisner Award-nominated Jane’s World, Creative Director at Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates) and Vicki Scott (The Beagle Has Landed; It’s Tokyo, Charlie Brown!)—two creators who have long worked on KaBOOM!’s Peanuts issues and graphic novels—are taking Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts back to summer camp so readers can escape the winter weather in a 32-page, long-form story.

“Peanuts has been loved across multiple generations, and we’ve had the honor of sharing that love for more than two years now,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “We wanted to celebrate that milestone, and especially the 65th anniversary, with something we’ve never done with Peanuts before, and we’re very excited to show you the results!”

Peanuts #25 arrives in comic shops from KaBOOM! on February 18th with a main cover by Vicki Scott for the price of $3.99 under Diamond order code DEC141218. Also available in limited quantities is a retailer incentive cover by Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. (Please check with your local comic shop on its availability.) The Final Order Cutoff deadline for retailers is January 26th. Not sure where to find your nearest comic retailer? Use comicshoplocator.com or findacomicshop.com to find one!
