Publisher's Note
Illustrated in full-color, three hardcover volumes in a sturdy slipcase bring together every Calvin and Hobbes cartoon that has ever appeared in syndication, along with an original introduction by the author, color and sport art, and a treasury of entertaining stories and poems from It's a Magical World, There's Treasure Everywhere, and other classic collections.

Industry Reviews
"By the 1980s the once glorious newspaper comics section had become a wasteland, ravaged by shrinking space, editorial timidity and other ills....Bill Watterson...marched directly in the wasteland and made the comatose syndicated strip form kick up its heels and dance....These books offer a testament to Watterson's dedication and to the medium's ability to keep reinventing itself against all odds." (starred review)
Publishers Weekly - Art Spiegelman (08/22/2005)

"[A] treasury of 10 transcendent years in three beautiful, bricklike volumes....For all of his mischief, Watterson came as close as any artist, in any medium, to achieving a kind of American Zen....[Grade:] A."
(10/07/2005)

    What a great set! This well done 3 volume boxed set includes every strip of Calvin and Hobbes ever created. The strips are listed in date order with Nov. 18, 1985 first. Monday - Saturday strips are printed 3 to a page and Sunday strips are a full color, full page spread. The pages are 12 x 10 1/2 allowing the strips to be larger than originally printed in the comics. The set, though heavy, exudes quality and will be treasured by current and future (one is still a non-reader) Calvin and Hobbes fans in our family. The first volume has become the breakfast reading, sending everyone off to work/school with a chuckle, proving to be a great stress reducer! The art-back paper has a good weight and the book lies open very nicely. The 3 volumes fit perfectly into the box which can make it a little difficult to get a volume out but gravity helps if you tilt the box forward. I originally felt the price was steep but, now that I have seen the quality and priceless joy in my family, it's worth every penny. As for the weight, consider it exercise.
