When I discovered this collection existed, I had to give myself an early Christmas gift in June! During the time Watterson gave his talent to the world I was busy raising kids and working full time. Comics were not on the agenda. It was only recently I found Calvin and Hobbs on Facebook and absolutely enjoyed each and every strip that came my way. The 4 books are perfect. Strong paper, excellent color, and came bound perfectly. I am a happy camper!
Calvin and Hobbes was such a great comic strip, and this edition brings a lot of memories and smiles with it. It is bookshelf quality, but be advised: it is heavy!
Sometimes I need to lift my spirits, and this comic does the trick. Waterson's humor is alway's an enjoyble read. He can venture beyond the expected and give me a comedic insight into the way life should be perceived. Both Calvin and Hobbes have fictional genius.
I love Calvin and Hobbes! This is the perfect boxed set of every strip. This was the best strip of its time and gone way too soon. Glad to get it at a great price!
This has long been one of my all-time favorite comic strips and I've purchased several of the smaller collections. Finally, in these four soft-bound volumes, I have the COMPLETE run! The Sunday color strips are BEAUTIFULLY rendered, in perfect "register".
I got this for my dad who loves the comics. I came in numerous boxes and protective barriers to ensure the set was in perfect condition when opened. My dad was so excited to receive it. Money well spent!
The books, the package the box are pretty good. The content has no need to talk about. It is marvelous.
This, quite literally, is the complete Calvin and Hobbes. It has long been a desire to own ALL the Calvin and Hobbes books and this is a simple way to do it. I bought mine around Christmas last year and have enjoyed reading them when I have the time. Some of the humor is zany and wacky but there are also deep, thoughtful, serious moments too. Bits of (sometimes) sarcastic wisdom from the viewpoint of a 6 yr old boy and his faithful tiger companion. I've been a fan of Calvin and Hobbes since it ran in the papers and am proud to own the Complete Collection. HIGHLY recommended!!!
