New manga biography of Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schultz

Otaku Study announced that Udon Entertainment's published a manga biography of the famous Peanuts cartoonist:
UDON Entertainment has announced the upcoming launch of a new series, Manga Biographies, which will bring the lives of some of history’s most interesting and influential individuals to the medium of Japanese manga. The series will debut with Manga Biographies: Charles Schulz, focusing on the life of the renowned creator of the Peanuts comic strip.

Manga Biographies: Charles Schulz is pitched as a 168-page manga graphic novel written and illustrated by Yuzuru Kuki. This authorized biography seeks to cover Schulz’s life, from his early years in Minnesota and his love of drawing to his time in the army and his rise to fame as a beloved cartoonist. The manga aims to present Schulz’s story in a clear and welcoming style suitable for both young and old readers, and touch upon significant historical events that influenced Schulz’s life and highlights how Peanuts impacted those events.
They've certainly developed a clever way of telling the life of a famous figure from outside Japan. The publisher of Street Fighter comics has definitely got a good idea here.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
