#10. The Complete Peanuts, 1963-1964
Written by Charles M. Schulz

Heroic comics publisher Fantagraphics is issuing the entirety of Peanuts' 50-year run in gorgeously designed hardcover volumes at the rate of two per year. By 1963 Charles Schulz had found the strip's voice and was branching out into flights of fancy: Lucy gives a slideshow presentation of Charlie Brown's faults, and we first learn that Snoopy has a Van Gogh stashed in his TARDIS-like dog house. Unbelievably, 150 of these strips have not been reprinted since they first landed on front porches more than 40 years ago.
