Peanuts: Coming To An E-reader Near You

NEW YORK, May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Open Road Integrated Media is pleased to announce its partnership with Peanuts Worldwide with the release of a series of 16 ebooks by Charles M. Schulz.

Each title in the series comprises a collection of the beloved original comic strips featuring Snoopy in various guises. The world's most famous beagle, along with Charlie Brown and the whole gang, dabbles in everything from law and golf to theater and cooking.

This collection was first published in 1988, well before the age of digital reading. Now titles in the Snoopy series will be available on all ebook electronic apps and devices. There's a Peanuts story for everyone in the family.

The four ebooks published on April 28 are:

• Snoopy: The Fitness Fanatic
• Snoopy: The Legal Beagle
• Snoopy: The Matchmaker
• Snoopy: Master of Disguise

Twelve additional titles will be published in May, June, and July.

"We are so thrilled to be able to partner with Peanuts to bring these beloved books by Charles Schulz to a new generation of readers," says Open Road Publisher Tina Pohlman.

All of the Peanuts ebooks will be released in advance of the first full-length animated feature film, The Peanuts Movie (October 2015).

About Charles M. Schulz

In October 1950, the first Peanuts comic strip premiered in seven national newspapers. Schulz's seemingly simple creation became a well-known, well-loved comic strip and grew to have an enormous global impact. Schulz has won awards from his cartoonist peers, has been recognized and lauded by U.S. and foreign governments, and has received Emmy Awards for his animated specials. In 2015, the beloved holiday TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas will reach its fifty-year milestone. Though the last original Peanuts comic appeared in papers on February 13, 2000, the day after Schulz passed away in his sleep, his work continues to be read in more than two thousand newspapers around the world.
