5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I repeat, childhood in a box hardest thing about it is making sure our Hobbes does not eat the books.

Description

New York Times best-seller! Available for the first time in paperback, these four full-color volumes in a sturdy slipcase include all the Calvin and Hobbes cartoons that ever appeared in syndication. This is the box set treasure that all Calvin and Hobbes fans seek.

“From 1985 until Watterson abandoned it at the height of its popularity 10 years later, Calvin and Hobbes echoed the classic strips the artist most admired. Stirring the richly conceived characters and efficient drawing of Peanuts with the visual virtuosity and linguistic playfulness of Pogo and Krazy Kat, he applied his intelligence and supple cartoon skills to come up with a creation beloved by the millions who still mourn its passing. Now, a decade after his demise, six-year-old Calvin has a fitting monument—a lavishly produced . . . boxed collection of all the strips.”

—Art Spiegleman, starred review, Publishers Weekly

“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.
