Graphic Lit: Vintage, Independent, Marvel, and DC
In what may be an expression of nostalgia, we carry a lot of the genius of newspaper-published graphic literature, a Golden Age that lasted from the 1930s to the departure of Bill Watterson's Calvin & Hobbes. The two comic book behemoths, Marvel and DC, are included here. We don’t cover the “universes” of each company. Occasionally, however, they publish some strikingly original or quirky work that suits our inventory. On this page we feature all our adult graphic literature (some of which, of course, is perfectly appropriate for children); our Young Adult graphic literature has its own page under that name.
Content note: I have moved all of Neil Gaiman’s work (Sandman and others) to his page here.

The Complete Peanuts 1977-1978: Volume 14 of the Paperback Edition
Two years of the 1970s-era world's greatest comic strip, just in time to celebrate its 70th anniversary!
As the 1970s wind down, the last two recurring Peanuts characters have fallen into place: Snoopy's brother, Spike, and the youngest Van Pelt sibling, Rerun. When the EPA finds Charlie Brown guilty of biting the Kite-Eating tree, he goes on the lam and ends up coaching the "Goose Eggs," a group of diminutive baseball players: Austin, Ruby, Leland, and Milo. A tennis-playing Snoopy ends up teamed with the extreme Type "A" athlete Molly Volley... who then faces off against her nemesis, "Crybaby" Boobie. Add in Sally's new camp friend, Eudora, along with Linus's new sweetheart, "Truffles," and you've got one of the most eclectic casts in Peanuts' great history.
