Summary: Big changes for a small kid
Comment: This excellent comic was made by Bill Watterson. The main characters are Calvin and Hobbes. As many daydreams take over Calvin's mind he has been Safari Al, Spaceman Spiff, Stupendous Man, dinosaurs, octopus, hummingbird, invisible, dog and tiger. Every Christmas, he wants explosives and he never gets them. He has been in many goof-ups like warping into the future, the past and the present and failed his homework because of Hobbes. Once he plays so much outside, he forgets to do his math homework. Susie is Calvin's enemy and annoyer, she snitched on him because it was really was Calvin's fault to give Susie insulting letters in school at one time. Calvin's interest in school is very low and he gets grades like C- and D-. Calvin doesn't want to go to school.

I recommend this book for a lot of people who like comics. The author is showing the "biography" of Calvin, the fictitious main character who is a six year old boy.

Summary: great compialation of memories
Comment: I figure, if your looking at this product your either intent on buying it or your just drooling because you dont have the cash. so, this review isn't really necessary. Nevertheless you might like to know that i am ecstatic over this collection. I've loved Bill Waterson's cartoons since i first got a hold of my older brother's copy of "its a magical world". So i thought it was only right to pass on the wisdom of Calvin&Hobbes to MY younger brother this past Christmas. its so awesome to finally have all the reality/fantasy of C&H in one compialation that will, hopefully, last a long time, (that is if Sam doesn't spill Coke on it).

Summary: Best collection of Bill Wattersons work
Comment: I had been looking for a collection of Calvin & Hobbes and decided to take a chance since this one was on sale. I'M SO GLAD I DID. THIS COLLECTION IS FANTASTIC! The Complete Calvin and Hobbes (Calvin & Hobbes) (v. 1, 2, 3)

The binding is beautiful, built to last many years. The printing is clear and sharp, the colors just pop off the page. It is a size that allows easy reading. The sections are arraigned to keep sequential themes or story lines intact.

You will not be sorry you invested in this terrific set (all 24 pounds worth!). I like this one so much I intend to purchase several more that are offered from the same publisher. BUY IT NOW; or you will regret it later when it's out of print!

Summary: The Amazing Calvin and Hobbes
Comment: This complete set is a fitting tribute to one of the finest comic book artists ever to pick up a pen. Along with the countless strips that make Calvin and Hobbes the artistic amazement and phenom that it is, this collection also has a biographical introduction that gives some insight into the enigmatic figure that is Bill Waterson. Whether these books be for the experienced Calvin and Hobbes aficionado or one of the lucky few who have never had the opportunity to read a collection, this is a great way to celebrate and savor the greatest comic strips of all time.

Editorial Reviews:

New York Times best-seller!

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.
