An Absolute GemSep 03, 2010
I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes. I used to rush to get the paper every morning, just so I could check out the latest strip. I was really psyched to see this completely collection on Amazon - but at the same time a little concerned that my childhood passion wouldn't quite stand up nowadays. Boy were my fears misguided! Calvin and Hobbes is a real gem, a timeless treasure.
Calvin and Hobbes stands as an fantastic and elegant combination combination of schoolboy humor and deep philosophy. Some strips make you laugh, and some make you want to cry - but each one is worthwhile. This collection will always have a place on my bookshelf.
Creativity at its bestAug 19, 2010
Indeed, a must-have for anyone who enjoys the true art that can be found on comic strips. Calvin "Boy of Destiny" and tuna-loving Hobbes at its best in this unabridged collection. This package even includes the poems, short stories and quite a personal introduction by Bill Watterson. It comes in a three beautiful printed volume with strong binding made to last a lifetime. This Horrendous Comic Kablooie deserves it's place up there with such characters as Mafalda and Bugs Bunny.

The collection quickly and good shape, the corner appears to be a little bent, but is hardly noticeable. The box it was delivered in looked like kind of bad, but just small criticisms. Overall great product!
