I have been a Charles Schulz fan since I was a little kid. This was a fun read. When I was a small child I lived in Santa Rosa and went to his ice rink often. I even had a birthday there.

The manga images were great. Something i would recommend.

I know about as much about Peanuts and Charles Schulz as probably the average person, and never have really gone out of my way to learn more about him. This manga did a really great job of making me interested in him for really the first time.

I did feel like there was more detail in here than maybe there needed to be, but also people who are more invested in Charles Schulz would probably appreciate that.

I liked the illustration style and really liked the pages that were full colour. The mangaka did a great job blending their own style with Charles Schulz cartoons.

It was really fun to read this story about the creator of the peanuts and his story in a Manga version. I really like how it was just a good story and not like a documentary. It made you really enjoy reading about his life and the journey that he took before and after the peanuts became what we still love and enjoy today!

This is such a beautiful story. Great for adults and children. Wonderful way to learn about history and a kind man who is a big part of our pop culture. I absolutely adore the art style. The pacing is perfect to keep me enthralled every step of the way.
I'm convinced that graphic novels and manga are the best format to read nonfiction as it gives so much life and depth to the stories.
I especially love the timeliness at the beginning and end of the story, that was very helpful. And the real pictures at the end.

This is the first biography that will stick with me for a long time. I even got teary eyed a few times. I will be adding this to my shopping list. And recommending it to moms as a nonfiction read to add to their children's learning curriculum.

This was charming. I have read a couple of other graphic novel biographies semi recently, and this was by far the best. Focusing equally on the artist's life and his work, with lovely illustrations and anecdotes. The supplemental timelines and photographs at the end were a nice touch as well.

A fitting tribute.

Highly recommend! Wonderfully engaging illustrations combined with interesting biographical information kept me reading the book in one sitting. Great end notes for fans of Peanuts cartoons.

Thank you, NetGalley for an advanced ARC of this graphic novel

This was a fun read mostly for me except f0r the part of tye unhappiness that happened in his life, this was a fast read and also loved finding out how he for decades worked on snoopy etc...

This is a great book for children or anyone who's interested in finding more information about the artist/ cartoonist and about snoopy ( its quick, easily digestible, with engaging imagary/art throughout).

Definitely a book I will be buying to add to my graphic novel collection.
