“Up in the sky, a man in a plane / Baron von Richthofen was his name ...”
Just in time for The Peanuts Movie, Snoopy vs. The Red Baron collects all of Schulz’s beloved newspaper strips starring Snoopy as the famous World War I flying ace in his perennial battles with the infamous Red Baron of Germany.
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more / the bloody Red Baron was rollin’ up the score / Eighty men died tryin’ to end that spree / of the bloody Red Baron of Germany ...
In the nick of time, a hero arose / A funny-looking dog with a big black nose.
Including both dailies and Sundays, Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron follows the valiant and indefatigable Snoopy as, time after time in his doghouse/Sopwith Camel, he braves the wrath of his unseen aerial foe. The brave little beagle’s epic, Walter Mitty-esque battles are brought to thrilling cartoon life.
He flew into the sky to seek revenge / But the Baron shot him down / “Curses, foiled again!”
The Snoopy and Red Baron encounters were some of the most inspired — and most popular — episodes in all of Peanuts, and among the stories most beloved by children and adults alike.
Note: The digital edition (11/2/2015) for this volume was released before the print edition.
