Editorial Review:
An Excerpt from Bill Watterson's Introduction:
 "Ive 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 dont 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. Its a rare gift to find such fulfilling work and I tried to show my appreciation by giving the strip everything I had to offer."

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.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - excellent product
I think I would not have wanted to know anything. The all experience of buying for the first time a product that I have always wanted was extremly special. I can't say anything else, only that if I had the opportunity I would buy it again
Rating: - Awesome book for a Calvin and Hobbes fan
Bought this for my son, age 11, who has read and re-read every Calvin and Hobbes book there is. This is a beautiful set that will be a keepsake for him for years.
Rating: - brilliant!
really enjoyed reading it and was nice to see the complete c&h all in one box set. I've always been a big fan. i like how its printed- almost looks like the strips are stuck on. the only complaints i have is that its too bulky and there are no finger holes in the box to pull the individual books out. nevertheless, i highly recommend it for anyone who has, over the years, enjoyed c&h- its brilliant!
Rating: - the complete calvin and hobbes
If you have a child, especially a boy, you have to buy this.
If you love good cartooning, you have to buy this ... it is a fantastic blend of six year old boy wisdom and great art.
This will be passed onto my son who has just turned six and I know he will love it.
The presentation is amazing, one of the best books I have ever bought !
Rating:  - RECEIVED A DAMAGED PRODUCT
Product, I already knew about it. Edited blah blah, I can live with it. That's why I ordered.
HOWEVER, a huge dent and a slight rip right in the middle of the slip-cover was not something I expected.
Slight dent around the corner, I can let it go, but this, I was just simply not happy with. It's a heavy book but the problem was that the damage wasn't by the shipping. How do I know? Because the side that was damaged was covered by an extra cardboard which wasn't dented. ... Read More
