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."

Review

"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)

"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)

Tiger-striped Philosophy
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2005
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I recall, some years ago, a text discussing Creationism vs. Evolution, which, perhaps not surprisingly, used Calvin & Hobbes -- y'know, the kid and his tiger, not the other two who masqueraded in flesh with those names [what did *they* ever do that was important? ;)] -- to example *both* sides of the issue. I thought that stepped along line few were willing, or able, to edge-walk. The philosophy and genius of Bill Watterson was that, and so very much more.

Seeing the eyes through a mischievous child's eyes, without the pedantic nor moralistic tone which has been enshrouded around so many "adults" revisiting childhood in prose and/or art, Watterson captured perfectly what it is to be n over-imaginative kid in a world that isn't geared for such minds. Through phantasic daydreams of outer space adventures, or dinosaur-era rampages, Calvin ventured far and distant vistas of elaborate construction; all as a means to avoid the mundane systems imposed upon him through learning a series of dates and places and calling it history -- or the basics of mathematic number systems. Calvin drags his best friend, Hobbes (a tiger who pretends to be a stuffed animal when anyone else is around), into grandiose journeys involving time travel, treasure-hunting, and racing downhill in a wagon or sled -- all the while discussing the merits and validity of pre-determinination. His mother tries not to kill him when he wakes her at 2am to ask if love is just a series of chemical impulses or something deeper and more spiritual. Nor can she understand why she finds a bowl of luke-warm tapioca pudding in the middle of the floor in front of the television (set there, of course, as an offering to a modern deity who turns our brains into such ilk as luke-warm tapioca).

Through-out all of his adventures, this tiger and his human friend teach us about, not about life necessarily, but about the lens through which we view the paradox of our beauty and inadequacies in which we all live. And they do it with made-up games with ever-changing rules, poems of incredible complexity and profoundly simple subject matter...

"Like delicate lace

So the threads intertwine,

Oh, gossamer web

Of wond'rous design!

Such beauty and grace

Wild nature produces...

Ughh, look at the spider

Suck out the bug's juices!"

...or by turning a cardboard box into a "transmogrifier" device. Their dancing and singing philosophy spans the range of emotion and illuminates the everyday surroundings with light and humor to remind us of what is really important. In such a manner, as perhaps only Antoine de Saint Exupéry has done with "The Little Prince".

Now, as for this fine collection: Everything is in here. Each incredible comic in the entire run of the series. All gorgeously rendered and bound in three volumes that as heavy as anything John Calvin and Thomas Hobbes published. Someone (I think it might have been G. K. Chesterton) once wrote that fine literature should, in hardcover form, be heavy enough to knock out a bugler. By that definition, this could well be the finest literature on a library shelf. By defining literature as something provoking thought and discussion of our world and the life in it, Calvin & Hobbes does that as well. Such a collection is likely to make other works on your bookcase envious, be they by Rumi or Hemingway, Sun Tzu or Gaiman, Milton or Hawkins. Fine other books in history have given such deep and vast views of philosophy and religion, disguised as a comic strip that can make you laugh with tearful joy.

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
Calvin and Hobbs has always been one of my favorite comic strips. I just think it’s a genius Calvin and his tiger and I love the fact that the author hasn’t sold out so really anything you buy is normally a knock off. Over the years I’ve had one or two different books, but I end up losing them or whatever. I’ve been wanting this collection for a while, but money was tight. I decided to treat myself and now these have a prominent place on my bookshelf. It’s what you would expect, printing is beautiful quality is top notch and I can get lost for an hour or two reading these and then they go right back and keep the collection together. I would certainly recommend.

A Timeless Treasure — The Definitive Calvin and Hobbes Collection
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2025
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
There are few comic collections that feel as essential as The Complete Calvin and Hobbes. This set isn’t just a book, it’s an experience. Every strip, every storyline, every bit of wit and heart that Bill Watterson ever published is here, beautifully bound and thoughtfully presented.

The quality of the printing is exceptional: the pages are thick, the colors vivid, and the black-and-white panels have that crisp ink look that makes each one feel hand-drawn. The binding itself feels sturdy enough to handle years of revisiting (which you’ll absolutely do). Even after multiple reads, the books still hold up well which are clearly built to last as both a keepsake and a readable collection.

Content-wise, Calvin and Hobbes remains unmatched. It’s funny, imaginative, and deeply reflective without ever trying too hard. Whether it’s Calvin’s wild daydreams or the quiet philosophical exchanges with Hobbes, it strikes that rare balance between humor and insight that resonates just as much with adults as it does with kids.

It’s hard to call something perfect, but this comes close. For fans of comics, storytelling, or even just nostalgia done right, this is an easy purchase that deserves a permanent spot on the bookshelf.

Father's Day Present To Myself
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2013
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
There have been a lot of truly great comic strips over the years. But Calvin and Hobbes stands out as one the immortal classics of our time. I remember reading these strips when they first appeared in the local paper many years ago. I have even bought a few of the trades when they first came out as well, so I have read many of the strips once maybe even twice before. But as soon as I saw this handsome edition, I knew I had to have it! It was exactly how I wanted to treasure these wonderful koans of my childhood.

But then I read some reviews that gave me pause. There were some complaints about poor quality. So I waited. Then a couple of years ago I couldn't wait any longer and I decided to gift this to myself for Father's Day. It was a great gift! I savor them, I read them in small batches at a time and I treat the books like the priceless treasures they're meant to be. In that regard I can say, they are superbly made but then I don't abuse them; I treat them with utmost care. They are truly a joy and a pleasure and I fully intend to savor every moment in my slow crawl through these pages. And, they are even more of a delight now than when I first read them because now I am a dad and I'm finding whole new ways to relate!

Much thanks to Bill Watterson for crafting one of the true immortal works of the 20th century; these strips will forever have a special place in my heart. I feel that with this work, Mr Watterson captures something quite marvelous, in perhaps a Jungian kind of way but I think also in ways that have yet to have someone's name associated with them. And of course, it is also hysterically funny...

WORTH EVERY PENNY
Reviewed in the Netherlands on October 14, 2024
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This set is worth the hype in 2024! After 20 years of being a fan, I sprung for the box set. Some reviews made me consider the Paperback, but after receiving it I am very happy with the Hardcover.

This set allows you to dive deep into these comics, inspect every tiny line and brushstroke, and appreciate this incredible series in more depth than ever before. Such an incredible collection is worthy of such a big, heavy set.

My set had NO issues with binding, discoloration, weird smells, etc. It looks beautiful, it was bubble wrapped by Amazon during shipping (although the side of the slipcase is slightly bent inwards, implying that something heavy was stacked on top of it while it lay sideways). The bent slipcase is hardly noticeable, and I am satisfied with the condition of the item.

This set is meant for home use, and I would recommend reading it at a clean table with plenty of room. You will undoubtedly have years of joy from this set. If it is on sale, BUY IT.

Ein Traum von einer Sammel-Edition
Reviewed in Germany on January 5, 2007
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
Ich liebe Calvin & Hobbes. Diese Comics gehören mit zu den besten, die der amerikanische Comic-Markt hervor gebracht hat.

Über den Inhalt auszulassen lohnt nicht, da vorherige Rezensionen bereits alles gesagt haben. Was diese Edition so einmalig macht - alles bisher veröffentliche Material, auch extra für die einzelnen Bände angefertige Bilder, sind enthalten. Und da der Strip 1995 eingestellt wurde, kommt auch nichts mehr hinzu. Diese Edition umfasst somit alles Materila was es gibt und wohl auch geben wird! Für Fans und Sammler geht es nicht besser! Hinzu kommt die Qualität der Aufmachung. Das Papier ist hochwertig, der Druck exzellent, der Einband sehr gut, der Papschoner sehr schön gestaltet. Das Gewicht ist zwar nicht gering (4-5 kg schätze ich), aber das ist es bei weitem wert. Und der derzeitige Preis ist für den Inhalt mehr als angemessen (ich hätte auch 150 Euro dafür gezahlt und es würde mir nicht leid tuen). Als einziger Wehmutstropfen könnte für manche sein, das das Werk auf allen 1440 Seiten in Englisch ist. Aber gibt es einen besseren Grund sein Englisch aufzubessern während man sich köstlich amüsiert (und für viele ist das Englisch kein Problem - Schulenglisch reicht vollkommen um 99 Prozent zu verstehen. Für den Rest gibt es Wörterbücher). Wer auch immer Calvin and Hobbes mochte wird den Kauf nicht bereuen. Und für jeden anderen, der Calvin und Hobbes bisher noch nicht kennt aber nach einem lustigen, humorvollen, intelligenten, niveauvollen und auch zeitlosen Comic sucht sei dieses Werk mit aller Entschiedenheit ans Herz gelegt.

Calvin and Hobbes war die Supernova am Sternenhimmel der Comics. Ob es jemals ein besseres Comic eben wird ist, zumindest mir, noch nicht klar.

Like meeting an old friend
Reviewed in Sweden on April 2, 2024
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
The delivery took about one week (to Sweden) which was what the page said.

The collection had shrink-wrapped plastic around it, and then came wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap, all of which was inside a box, which in turn was in another box with some more paper in it to cushion any hard blows to the box in transit. In other words, the collection was very well protected during transport.

The collection itself is fantastic, very nice quality. I fell in love with Calvin & Hobbes in the late 80s, and meeting them this way now is like meeting an old beloved friend from your youth. So many fantastic strips with adventures, friendship, love, warmth, and humour. Looking forward to going back in time, losing many hours smiling and laughing when diving into these pages.
