60TH ANNIVERSARY CLASSIC PEANUTS: CHARLIE BROWN



Welcome to what promises to be a yearlong celebration of Charles Schulz's masterpiece, Peanuts! PeanutsÊpremiered on October 2, 1950, in eight newspapers.

In an unprecedented move, United Media is letting us go back to the original look of the characters from 1950, which was considerably different than today's look, and sculpt statues in a special 60th anniversary limited-edition series of the five main characters. Sculpted by Yoe! Studio.

Frank Frazetta is widely renowned as one of the greatest fantasy illustrators of all time. But he didn't hone his skills in study at the fabled galleries of Paris or Milan; his legendary talents flourished as he worked for hire during the Golden Age of comics!

There, he also created his first mighty adventurer: the lost-world-jungle hero Thun'da! Though Frazetta left Magazine Enterprises shortly after the first issue of Thun'da was released, and the series was ultimately short lived despite the talented care of collaborators Gardner Fox and Bob Powell, to this day the Thun'da, King of the Congo comics series is held in high regard both as an exciting adventure title and as the only comics series ever to include a cover-to-cover, all-Frazetta issue!
