COMICS OF CHARLES SCHULZ GOOD GRIEF OF MODERN LIFE SC

(W) Jared Gardner (A) Charles M. Schulz (CA) Charles M. Schulz

An unparalleled gathering of research devoted to one of the world's most influential comic strips, The Comics of CHARLES SCHULZ collects new essays on the work of the creator of the immensely popular Peanuts comic strip. Despite Schulz's celebrity, few scholarly books on his work and career have been published. This collection serves as a foundation for future study not only of CHARLES SCHULZ (1922-2000) but, more broadly, of the understudied medium of newspaper comics.

(W) Martha Kennedy (A) Roz Chast (CA) CHARLES SCHULZ

Published in partnership with the Library of Congress, Drawn to Purpose: American Women Illustrators and Cartoonists presents an overarching survey of women in American illustration, from the late nineteenth into the twenty-first century. Martha H. Kennedy brings special attention to forms that have heretofore received scant notice-cover designs, editorial illustrations, and political cartoons-and reveals the contributions of acclaimed cartoonists and illustrators, along with many whose work has been overlooked.
