Customer Reviews
A wonderful look at how Calvin & Hobbes was developed.
Calvin & Hobbes is one the best comic strips in my lifetime. Watterson is a wonderful artist with great wit. Reading about his thoughts on the craft along with examples is a delight for any fan of the strip. For me the strip was ended too early. But the end was coming with the rise of the internet. His timing was perfect.
Great comic, wrong purchase
I really enjoy this comic. I’ll never read this book. But I’ll keep reading the comics when I find them. Thanks. I paid for this thinking it was the comic book. But it was some sort of story. Not into that kinda thing.
Very interesting
I don’t know why but I just like it sorry if I am being un specific.
