Publisher Signed Limited Edition: Snoopy: Not Your Average Dog by Charles M. Schulz

This entry highlights a prized artifact of American comic strip history: a Signed Limited Edition copy of Snoopy: Not Your Average Dog, hand-signed by legendary cartoonist and Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. Published in 1996 by Collins Publishers San Francisco, this special commemorative issue was produced in a strict limitation of 2,000 hand-numbered copies to celebrate the world’s most famous beagle and his iconic alter egos.

Snoopy: Not Your Average Dog pays tribute to the rich, imaginative life of Charlie Brown’s beloved pet. From the World War I Flying Ace taking on the Red Baron to Joe Cool lounging on campus, the World Famous Attorney, and the Literary Ace typing away atop his doghouse, this collection showcases decades of classic daily and Sunday comic strips, full-color illustrations, and character lore curated directly from Schulz's iconic run.

This deluxe volume is bound in a square-format, board-printed edition featuring a bold, checkerboard cover design showcasing Snoopy's various personas in black, white, and silver. Designed with interactive element details, the interior includes a black custom pocket containing a special World War I Flying Ace "Snoopy" insert. Housed in a custom black cloth-covered slipcase stamped in silver foil ("by SCHULZ"), this volume retains its original Certificate of Authenticity issued by United Feature Syndicate, confirming this copy as No. 1648 of 2,000. On the half-title page, Charles M. Schulz has rendered his signature in pencil: "Charles M. Schulz". Preserved in fine, clean condition throughout, this authenticated limited release stands as a heartwarming collector’s centerpiece for animation historians and lifelong Peanuts enthusiasts.
