Does life get any better than this? I dont know that I have ever been as excited (and a bit surprised) when this was released. Calvin came out during my formative years and had a fantastic run of 10 years before ending in 1995. So to see such a beautiful and comprehensive collection come out was pure heaven. And I'm a bit surprised that this edition is actually still in print and still readily available. A solid recommendation from me.


Amazon description - Watterson's imaginative approach to his material and his inventive graphics have made Calvin and Hobbes one of the few universally admired by other cartoonists." --Charles Solomon, Los Angeles Times Book Review

Calvin and Hobbes is unquestionably one of the most popular comic strips of all time. The imaginative world of a boy and his real-only-to-him tiger was first syndicated in 1985 and appeared in more than 2,400 newspapers when Bill Watterson retired on January 1, 1996. The entire body of Calvin and Hobbes cartoons published in a truly noteworthy tribute to this singular cartoon in The Complete Calvin and Hobbes. Composed of three hardcover, four-color volumes in a sturdy slipcase, this edition includes all Calvin and Hobbes cartoons that ever appeared in syndication. This is the treasure that all Calvin and Hobbes fans seek.
