The Complete Calvin & Hobbes, Volume 3

Cofanetto completo di Calvin & Hobbes #3

by Bill Watterson, Nicoletta Pardi (Translator)

Calvin & Hobbes la striscia a fumetti creata da Bill Watterson nel 1985, è stata pubblicata per la prima volta sui quotidiani statunitensi e ha subito conquistato una straordinaria popolarità anche tra un pubblico adulto per l'umorismo intelligente, le acute e spiazzanti riflessioni sulla società e sugli esseri umani che spiccano nei dialoghi tra Calvin, il bambino pestifero e sensibile, e il suo fedele compagno di giochi Hobbes, la tigre di pezza a cui dà vita con la sua sfrenata fantasia.

About the author

Bill Watterson (born William Boyd Watterson II) is an American cartoonist, and the author of the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes". His career as a syndicated cartoonist ran from 1985 to 1995; he stopped drawing "Calvin and Hobbes" at the end of 1995 with a short statement to newspaper editors and his fans that he felt he had achieved all he could in the comic strip medium. During the early years of his career he produced several drawings and additional contributions for "Target: The Political Cartoon Quarterly". Watterson is known for his views on licensing and comic syndication, as well as for his reclusive nature.

Calvin and Hobbes...what's not to love?

[Sophia W · Rating 5 out of 5]

Comic books should just all have commentary 😃
This isn't a detracting comment, but a hopeful wish. Watterson's commentary in the collections of comic strips that I've read of his that have them is the most interesting, enlightening, and memorable I've read (doesn't say THAT much considering that I don't read too many strips consistently, but still! It was good!).

I love reading Calvin and Hobbes as it is, but I still find myself thinking, "What's the story behind this joke? I'm sure there's some great narrative or humorous anecdote here that I'm totally missing out on."

Nothing will ever really come close to Calvin and Hobbes. Yes, it was sad to see it come to an end, but thank you, Bill Watterson.

Dopo anni che non rileggevo le strisce di Watterson c'è voluto poco perché tornassi Calvin addicted.
Sarà molto dura, ora, attendere l'uscita degli altri sette volumi.
