The Eisner Award–nominated tribute to
Peanuts
creator Charles M. Schulz
Reproducing the best of the
newspaper strip, all shot from the original art by award-winning photographer Geoff Spear,
Only What’s Necessary
also features exclusive, rare, and unpublished original art and developmental work—much of which has never been seen before.
Charles M. Schulz (1922–2000) believed that the key to cartooning was to take out the extraneous details and leave in only what’s necessary. For 50 years, from October 2, 1950, to February 13, 2000, Schulz wrote and illustrated
, the single most popular and influential comic strip in the world.
In all, 17,897 strips were published, making it “arguably the longest story ever told by one human being,” according to Robert Thompson, professor of popular culture at Syracuse University.
For

, renowned designer Chip Kidd was granted unprecedented access to the extraordinary archives of the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California.
