The complete Peanuts Volume 8. 1965 to 1966. Volume 8. 1965 to 1966.

Charles M. Schulz, 1922-2000

eBook - 2013

We are now in the mid-1960s, one of Schulz's peak periods of creativity (and one third of the way through the strip's life!). Snoopy has become the strip's dominant personality, and this volume marks two milestones for the character: the first of many "dogfights" with the nefarious Red Baron, and the launch of his writing career ("It was a dark and stormy night..."). Two new characters―the first two from outside the strip's regular little neighborhood―make their bows. Roy (who befriends Charlie Brown and then Linus at summer camp) won't have a lasting impact, but upon his return from camp he regales a friend of his with tales of the strange kids he met, and she has to go check them out for he...rself. Her name? "Peppermint" Patty.

Review by Booklist Review

The latest chronological Peanuts volume includes the debut of one of the strip's most beloved recurring devices, Snoopy donning the goggles of a World War I fighting ace and battling the Red Baron, thereby putting his canine nature quite behind him. Here, too, is the maiden appearance of the strip's most successful second generation cast member, brash tomboy Peppermint Patty, who lives across town but would become an integral member of the troupe.--Flagg, Gordon Copyright 2007 Booklist
