  • The Complete Peanuts Volume I by Charles M. Schulz
    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators STUDY GUIDE: THE COMPLETE PEANUTS by Charles M. Schulz Volume One: 1950-1952 Study guide written by Art Baxter Introduction America was in the throes of post-war transition in 1950. Soldiers had returned home, started families and abandoned the cities for the sprawling green lawns of newly constructed suburbia. They had sacrificed during the Great Depression and subsequent war effort and this was their reward. Television was beginning to replace the picture-less radio not to mention live theater, supper clubs and dance halls, as Americans stayed home and raised families. Despite all this “progress” an empty feeling still resided in the pit of the American soul. Psychology, that new science that had recently gone mainstream, tried to explain why. Then, Charles M. Schulz’s little filler comic strip, Peanuts, appeared in the funny pages. Schulz was born in 1922, the solitary child of a barber and his wife, in St. Paul, Minnesota. Sparky, his lifelong nickname, was given to him when he was an infant, by an uncle, after the comic strip character Barney Google’s racehorse Spark Plug. Schulz had an early love and talent for drawing. He enjoyed famous comic strips like Roy Crane’s Wash Tubbs/Captain Easy (1924- 1943), the prototype of the adventure strip; E. C. Segar’s Thimble Theater (1919-1938), and its diverse cast of colorful characters going in and out rollicking adventures; and Percy Crosby’s Skippy (1925-1945) with its wise-for-his-age perceptive child protagonist. Schulz was a bright student and skipped several grades, making him the youngest and smallest in his class.

  • General Catalog 2021
    TERRY’S COMICS Welcome to Catalog number twenty-four. Thank you to everyone who ordered from one or more of our previous catalogs and especially Gold and Platinum customers. Please be patient when you call if we are not here, we promise to get back to you as soon as possible. Our normal hours are Monday through Friday 9:00AM-5:00PM Pacific Time. You can always send e-mail requests and we will reply as soon as we are able. All comics that are stickered below $10 have been omitted as well as paperbacks, Digests, Posters and Artwork and Magazines. I also removed the mid-grade/priced issue if there were more than two copies, if you do not see a middle grade of an issue number, just ask for it. They are available on the regular website www.terryscomics.com. If you are looking for non-key comics from the 1980's to present, please send us your want list as we have most every issue from the past 35 years in our warehouse. We have been fortunate to still have acquired some amazing comics during this past challenging year. What is left from the British Collection of Pre-code Horror/Sci-Fi selection, has been regraded and repriced according to the current market. 2021 started off great with last year’s catalog and the 1st four Comic book conventions. Unfortunately, after mid- March all the conventions have been cancelled. We still managed to do a couple of mini conventions between lockdowns and did a lot of buying on a trip through several states as far east as Ohio.

  • Repetition. Sound. Appropriation
    REPETITION. SOUND. APPROPRIATION. by DERIK A BADMAN NOTES: Repetition 1- 5: I was reading a book about filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, and the author said something about focusing attention in film. How you can leave the camera rolling on a scene and the viewer will be forced (unless they just stop watching at all) to focus their attention onto the scene, much more so than the usual cuts and movements. These variations are partially inspired by that and partially by my interest in repeated panels in comics. The image is a slightly edited (characters removed) panel from Frank King’s “Gas- oline Alley.” The text in part 3 is from Barbara Wright’s translation of Raymond Queneau’s “The Sunday of Life.” Here, and through- out, my use of appropriated imagery or text is an attempt to provide some kind of control factors for my experiments. Sound 1-2: Variations on representing music in comics. The image is my redrawing of a photo of Robert Johnson. The music in panel 2 and the lyrics in panel 6 are from Robert Johnson songs. Comic Strip Rapture: I’ve been wanting to do an all landscape comic for quite awhile. This is a series of appropriations from vari- ous comic strips, which I redrew without the characters. Redrawing these was difficult, as the main focus of all these panels was origi- nally characters, and without them, the compositions and balance are occasionally off. Sources (in order): Frank King’s Gasoline Alley, Harold Gray’s Little Orphan Annie, Charles Schulz’s Peanuts, ditto, Roy Crane’s Wash Tubbs and Captain Easy, E.C.
