COMPLETE PEANUTS VOL. 18: 1985-1986

It’s the middle of the go-go 1980s in The Complete Peanuts: 1985-1986: a time of hanging out at the mall, “punkers,” killer bees, airbags, and Halley’s Comet. And in a surprisingly sharp satirical sequence, Schulz pokes fun at runaway licensing, with the introduction of the insufferably merchandisable “Tapioca Pudding.” This volume’s cover boy is the one and only Spike!
