Reviews"At some level, all American childhoods are the same, which probably explains our lasting love affair with Calvin and Hobbes." (Timothy R. Smith, The Washington Post), "A student of comics, Watterson drew from an eclectic set of influences...The result was a strip that was vibrant, accessible, and beautiful." (Jake Rossen, Mental Floss), "At some level, all American childhoods are the same, which probably explains our lasting love affair with Calvin and Hobbes." (Timothy R. Smith, The Washington Post), "Bill Watterson's 'Calvin and Hobbes,' easily one of the most beloved comic strips of all time..." (Bryan Hood, New York Post)

Comprehensive set
I obtained this for my now grown son who loved Calvin and Hobbes as a young child. This is a Christmas present that I am certain he will cherish for years on end!! My son is now a well established member of the status quo who "has it all" and one person who I cannot seem to surprise anymore. I want to see that little boy glimmer of joy one more time before I leave this earth and I am quite sure this volume of books will do the trick. Thank you so much. As a "kicker", I have crocheted a large Hobbes to go along with the books. That will really embarrass the hell out of him!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

The Complete Calvin & Hobbes- paperback
Watterson captures so well the precocious, and yet philosophical, imagination of a perpetual child. Laughter will fill this fun read, pass it on when you're done. Bought one for my son, who has 5 & 7 year old boys that put their parents through their paces. Kids love it and adults hold these books dear.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Great Purchase!
The soft cover books come in a great case that make is extra-special. The art in the books are vivid and bright. I originally wanted the individual books but having everything in these four books not only keeps is simpler but also allows the books to read like a big story. I love this series and plan on buying another special set to introduce this hilarious and innocent character to my nephews when they're old enough.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

calvin and hobbes complete collection
I bought this set from Barnes and noble Inc. on eBay the shipping box looked like it had been kicked or something but fortunately the actual book set had no damage to it so I got lucky but ups needs to be more gentle with there packages as for the set its self it seems to be well made there are however some minor blemishes on the pages from some sort of factory mishap they aren't bad blemishes and some are barely noticeable none of the blemishes are on the comic strips them selves so for me its not a big deal as I was already aware that on some of the 1st edition soft bound there was minor light brown or orangish color smudged In little speckles hear and there but again not on the comics themselves the comic strips are clean crisp and on high-grade paper I am going to really enjoy this set. for any Calvin and Hobbes fan this set is a delight I and I highly recommend this set I would however steer clear of the hard bound set unless you can find it with sewn binding because the pages will fall out if it is the glued version which is what was done for the first printing in hard bound the set I bought was the four volume soft cover which has glued binding as well but with it being four volumes instead of three the pages in each book is reduced therefore reducing the pressure put on the binding glue so it should hold up just fine but as this is a collector set I recommend using very gentlyBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

EXCELLENT and truly COMPLETE collection of one of the greatest comic strips ever drawn.
Great book collection. I remembered these strips from when they first cam out. I owned every book collection of them and of course got rid of them thinking he would keep writing them. I was very disappointed when he quit writing them but understood. I introduced them to my family members and they fell in love with them. My dog thinks I'm crazy at times because I start laughing when I am reading them and he looks confused. The collection is is the COMPLETE collection of his work and the paperbacks weight a bit since they are so thick. The books are put together nicely and even tell when the strips originally ran, making me feel old thinking about when I was reading them. I highly recommend these books for anyone that was a Calvin and Hobbs fan and let's face the facts, if you read them at all you was a immediate fan.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
