Udon Entertainment has announced the launch of a new line of manga titles called Manga Biographies, starting with a book focused on the life of Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz.
The publisher describes the book as an authorized 168-page manga biography focused on the life of Charles M. Schulz, written and illustrated by Yuzuru Kuki. It explores Schulz’s life, from his early youth growing up in Minnesota, to a burgeoning love of drawing and his time in the army, to becoming one of the most recognized and beloved cartoonists in the world. It also touches on many real-world historical events that impacted Schulz’s life, and the ways Peanuts impacted those events.
The book will also include archival photos, extra information on Schulz, and a bibliography for further reading.
Manga Biographies: Charles Schulz will be released in stores in October 2024. Special advance copies will be sold at San Diego Comic-Con, available at the Peanuts booth at the event.
