Calvin and Hobbes is one of the most popular comics of all time. If you grew up stealing the comics section of the newspaper from your parents to read the hilarious and insightful adventures of Calvin and his stuffed tiger, then you’ll want to check out this great deal on Amazon The complete Calvin and Hobbes hardcover box set. As part of Amazon’s early Prime Big Deal Days promotion, Prime members can purchase a premium box set containing all of Bill Watterson’s great comics for $100, which is 56% off the $225 list price.
Amazon’s price cuts are the lowest in years. The Calvin and Hobbes complete set has been on sale for $100 during past Black Friday and Prime Day sales, but it usually sells out quickly. If you’re interested in picking this up for yourself or as a holiday gift, it’s best to order as soon as possible.
$100 (originally $225)
This luxurious hardcover box set contains three volumes featuring every comic strip created by Calvin and Hobbes. All told, you get 1,440 pages of comic strips, some in color and some in black and white. The accompanying slipcase contains one of the most relevant illustrations of Calvin and Hobbes.
I have owned this box set for many years and can attest to its quality. The comic is printed on thick coated paper and well bound. Fair warning, though: the quality material makes these books quite heavy. With all three books in the slipcase, the set weighs approximately 22 pounds, so each hardcover book is approximately 7 pounds.
The Complete Works of Calvin and Hobbes is certainly not the only way to read Watson’s beloved comics. If you’d like a smaller paperback series, check out the ongoing Calvin and Hobbes Portable Compendium series. Andrews McMeel Publishers began reprinting the series in this travel-friendly format last year. Each compendium comes in two volumes, with the first set for just $10 (regularly $22) and the second set for just $12.70 before Prime Big Deal Days. Sets are available for pre-order ahead of release in March 2025.
