Amazon.com 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."

Product Description 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.

An Absolute Gem September 3, 2010 Steven Gargolinski (Boston) 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 best August 19, 2010 IK 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.
You'got to get this one July 14, 2010 Fabi It has perfect presentation, every strip and story that Bill Waterson created for Calvin and Hobbes, definitely a must have.
The Complete Calvin and Hobbes July 2, 2010 Debbie Cornett Good price and super fast shipping.
Long Live Calvin and Hobbes!
The Complete Calvin and Hobbes July 2, 2010 SuperGeek 1990 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!
