The final issue of this fine magazine devoted to the classic comics is a double-header: One side is devoted to Peanuts, and features a rare, candid, long interview with Charles Schulz (reprinted in the first volume of The Complete Peanuts), in which Schulz talked candidly about his success, his self-doubts, his politics, and his religious convictions — a fascinating look into the mind and soul of the creator of the greatest comic strip of the latter half of the 20th century. The other side is a fascinating feature by R.C. Harvey on Milton Caniff's Steve Canyon: how the Vietnam War sent the strip into a decline from which it would never emerge, and how Caniff fought back. Plus, Edward Sorel on Krazy Kat, and a 16-page portfolio of classic Polly and Her Pals Sundays, shot from crisp black & white syndicate proofs. Three major pieces of comics history — plus some special surprises!
