Rejoice! Save up to 50% on the Complete Calvin and Hobbes for Prime Day

We have noticed that not everyone has yet experienced the joy that Calvin and Hobbes. Maybe it’s because they’ve been waiting for the right moment to dive in. Maybe they grew up unaware of Bill Watterson’s groundbreaking comic book series. Whatever the reason, let’s fix that. The Complete Calvin and Hobbes is now on sale ahead of the official kickoff of Prime Day with a steep discount. How steep? The four-part paperback collection is on sale for (50% off the list price of $135) while the three-part hardcover edition is $125 (44% off the list price of $225).

Both collections each contain Calvin and Hobbes cartoon that appeared in syndication and ran from 1985 until Watterson’s retirement in early 1996. The story of a boy with a vivid imagination and his best friend (a stuffed tiger, of course) defined many a childhood — and has served as a deeply relevant solace during some of our most difficult collective years.

For those who already have this collection and want to add more Bill Watterson to their bookshelves, we recommend checking out The Mysterieswhich is currently also on sale with a 40% discount. The Mysteries is a “grown-up fable” and a collaboration between Watterson — who came out of retirement for the project — and illustrator John Kascht. If you’re interested in learning more, the duo released a charming video about their collaboration last year.
