Editorial Review:

Product Description:
New York Times best-seller!

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.

Amazon.com Review:
An Excerpt from Bill Watterson's Introduction:

"I’ve loved comic strips as long as I can remember. As a kid, I knew I wanted to be either a cartoonist or an astronaut. The latter was never much of a possibility, as I don’t even like riding in elevators. I kept my options open until seventh grade, but when I stopped understanding math and science, my choice was made. There is great personal satisfaction in attending to detail and quality, and I remain very proud of the standards the strip met day after day. I also liked the responsibility of knowing that, succeed or fail, it was all my own doing. This approach kept the strip very honest and personal--everything having to do with Calvin and Hobbes expressed my own ideas, my own values, my own way. I wrote every word, drew every line, and painted every color. It’s a rare gift to find such fulfilling work and I tried to show my appreciation by giving the strip everything I had to offer."

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Well worth it
I think very few can afford spending this much right now. This collection is well worth it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Authoritative, Indispensable, Essential Calvin & Hobbes
I grew up reading Calvin & Hobbes in the newspaper every morning, and I bought every C&H book as they came out. But I found this exhaustively complete (and extremely heavy) compilation to be an absolute must-have. Every strip is included and printed in the original publication order, along with the dates on which each strip ran. As an added bonus, Vol. 1 includes a detailed preface by author Bill Watterson, and all three books contain all the original cover artwork and extras from previous collections, such as the poem "A Nauseous Nocturne" first seen in "The Essential Calvin and Hobbes."

The books' large size and weight make them a bit too unwieldy for a bedtime read, but don't let their girth or the price prevent you from adding this to your library.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Complete Calvin & Hobbes v,1,2,3
This collection arrived in pristine condition. Unfortunately someone stole my digital camera from my car and I have no other way to take a photo. I am very proud to own this collection. I plan to pass it down to my relatives in the hopes they keep it this way. I will some time in the future get another camera and take photos of this collection.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Complete Calvin and Hobbes
This is a deep philosophical book where one can find every answers for the every main questions of our life: Where we come from? Why we are here? What is the reason of our existence? The problem Kerkergaard can't solve, Calvin solve quite easy - the main reason of humankid is to hit Susie with a biggest in Universe snowball. That's it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Must for all Calvin Fans.....
My all time best read. I thought I had all the comics till I found this one and this had all strips ever published along with notes and snippets of history.

Great read and material to enjoy for ever.
