Book Reviews of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes (Calvin & Hobbes)
Book Review: Incomparable Comic Riches
Summary: 5 Stars
A while back I happened upon a few of the old Calvin and Hobbes compilations and upon reading them was reminded of just how rich and funny these cartoons were. When C&H finally walked off into the sunset, I eagerly awaited the final farewell strip, and was cruelly disappointed when the local news distributor declined to import any newspapers on that day. (I live on a remote Alaskan island) The Complete Calvin and Hobbes has healed that wound. I'd forgotten how funny, in particular the snowmen cartoons were. The 3 volume set is beautifully done, all printed chronologically and dated. Beautiful color repro, nice paper. Volumes are quite heavy. If this is your cup of tea, it's well worth it.Book Review: Awesome Complete
Summary: 5 Stars
This colection has a very good paper and pretty colors. The book is very heavy (be careful or you might torn the 2nd paper cover, as I did) but is a fine piece to have in the shelf. I recommend to whom like Calvin and Hobbes.Book Review: Lovely collection from a great artist
Summary: 5 Stars
Much larger, heavier, and solid than I was hoping for, this collection lovingly recreates the entire works of Calvin and Hobbes for their fans. Each page is beautifully printed on special paper and leather-bound. Definitely not books to read in bed (as you'd break your wrists holding them!), instead take the time to enjoy them and relive the memories.
Exceptional value.
Book Review: A Treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
This complete Calvin and Hobbes collection is a boon for all who watched the depiction of an imaginative little boy's fantasies unfold. Many of the former little boys who stumbled upon the strip, whether in the newspapers or in the periodic small collections, treasured it because Watterson got us right, if weird, just about every time. Many of our own kids, taught right, learned to treasure Calvin and Hobbes, just as much.Book Review: awesome set
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic collection! If you grew up when this was in print, you probably remember it with great fondness. It maintains a certain amount of insight while remaining genuinely funny. Buy this!
