Calvin And Hobbes Complete Hardcover Box Set Is Cheaper Than Its Prime Day Price, But It’ll Sell Out Fast

Calvin and Hobbes is one of the most beloved comic strips 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, you’ll want to check out Amazon’s incredible deal on The Complete Calvin and Hobbes Hardcover Box Set. The premium, three-volume box set is available for only $83.33, a massive discount from its $225 list price. The price on the listing shows $125, but if you click the coupon box on the listing or after adding it to your cart, you’ll get an additional $41.66 off.

We expect this deal to disappear fast. During Amazon’s October Prime Day sale, this same box set was on sale for $100 and sold out within hours.

The lavish hardcover box set features three volumes compiling every single comic strip from Calvin and Hobbes’ run. All told, you’re getting 1,440 pages of comic strips, some in color, others in black-and-white. The included slipcase features one of the illustrations that is most-associated with Calvin and Hobbes.

I’ve owned this box set for years and can attest to its quality. The comic strips are printed on thick art paper, and the bindings have held up well. Fair warning, though: The premium materials make these books pretty heavy. With all three books in the slipcase, the set weighs roughly 22 pounds, so each hardcover is around seven pounds.

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes certainly isn’t the only way to read Watterson’s beloved comic strip. If you’d rather have smaller paperback collections, check out the ongoing Calvin and Hobbes Portable Compendium series. Andrews McMeel Publishing began reprinting the series in this travel-friendly format last year. Each compendium comes with two volumes, and the first three sets are eligible for Amazon’s Buy Two, Get One Free Book Sale.
