only issuePeanuts by Charles Schultz is arguably the most popular comic strip in the history of the medium, and this comic book is the only issue ever published in this series, while there have been other Peanuts appearances in comics, this is the sole issue in this run. The cover shows the early incarnations of Charlie Brown, Patty, and Snoopy as they looked in the 1950s, the characters would change in appearance somewhat over the years but the fundamental tone of the strip would be in place from the very beginning. Due to their relative rarity Peanuts comics are quite popular, and of course, the affection fans feel towards the characters Schultz created add another level of desirability to this interesting publication.Not only is this an extremely popular Golden Age comic thanks to the breathtaking cover art, but it is also an incredibly rare book, with just over fifty copies listed on the census, Mask #2 is very hard to come by, and the book sparks a feeding frenzy every time one comes up for auction. This copy is in a lower grade, but the requisite poster colors glow like they were printed yesterday, Cole’s masterful design does have some wear and tear around the periphery, but the devil in the center of the page is very well preserved. This is a beloved classic, and we expect there to be a good deal of competition over this hard-to-find book.
