Complete Calvin And Hobbes Paperback Box Set

Some of the Pleasures that money can buy.

Great comic 👍 books.

Book: This is a complete collection of everything Calvin & Hobbes. By "complete" I mean, Everything. It contains all the comic strips, Sunday strips, all special art, poems, Acknowledgement and Introduction by Bill Watterson, Everything possible. It is SUPERB!!! If you need to refer to a review to understand what kind of a comic is C&H, you probably shouldn't consider buying this book. The book is quite heavy, and I wouldn't want it to be any lighter. The book is very beautiful, the print is great, all the printing is on appreciably thick art paper. The colours are vivid and dense. Packaging: The collection's slipcase is made of a thick paper material, which is very sturdy. The seller was Amazing Buy (Amazon fulfilled) when I bought it. A piece of advice, when buying it online, make sure the order will be fulfilled by the selling website. The book is quite an investment, and you wouldn't want yourself worrying about the delivery and packaging. Price: When I bought the book (6-Oct-2014), it's MRP was: Rs. 5999/-, I bought it for Rs. 2999/- at a 50% discount! Yay!!! :D One thing that really disappointed me was that this book was printed in China, I mean seriously!? Why would you need to get anything printed in china? Aren't their products disappointing enough? Other than that, this is a must have collection!

Sitting proudly on my shelf next to my box collection of Asterix hardcover and Tintin hardcover and ofcourse some more Calvin & Hobbes books. I love this box set. If you call yourself a Calvin and Hobbes fan then you got to get this. It's the holy grail of Calvin and Hobbes world. The books a legit, they are well bound, amazing print and paper quality and mind you, they are super heavy. I am so happy I got them. Expensive, but something that'll last me a life time and I am going to pass this collection onto my daughter. Everyone can use some Calvin and Hobbes wisdom. Oh..and finally..a shout out to the seller.. the books were imported and shipped all the way from UK, and they arrived via DHL, on time and in pristine condition.

Much has been said about what Calvin and Hobbes. I'm a sucker for it too. I'll just comment on this printed collection by Andrews McMeel. I love the introduction by Bill Watterson. I have much respect and appreciation for him, and reading those few pages of personal notes on his life's work afforded me a sense of calm and satisfaction that no other form of written text has been able to in the recent history. Thanks to the publishers for all their efforts too. I purchased the paperback variant as a gift for my girlfriend, and I'm quite certain she'd cherish this collection for life. The packaging was adequate (seller: Cloudtail), but I do yearn for slightly thicker, a bit less glossy paper however. Watterson's work is truly exceptional and I think this volume does justice to it in bringing it to a book format. Recommended!

Calvin and Hobbes is more of satire and critique of current societal values and norms in a funny, humorous and non-preachy manner Cartoon strip format. Worth every Rupee spent. Production and paper quality is excellent.

This was in my wishlist for a long time and finally bought it for my spouse. We loved the collection

this is a beautiful gift to lovers of this series!! evergreen collection

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.

Ottime condizioni, praticamente perfette, con ancora tutte le dotazioni originali come le carte separalibri. Molto soddisfatto, grazie.

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.

pour tous les amoureux de Calvin et Hobbes en v.o. Très belle édition, dos toilé. Un peu lourd, mais quel objet magnifique!

Estupenda coleccion y encuadernacion. Lastima que unicamente este disponible en inglés. La ironia, moral, imaginacion y humor de Bill Waterson es maravillosa.
