Calvin and Hobbes remains one of the most cherished comic strips in history. If you spent your childhood sneaking the comics section from your parents to enjoy the witty and profound escapades of Calvin and his stuffed tiger, don't miss Amazon's Black Friday offers on The Complete Calvin and Hobbes. The hardcover, three-volume boxed set is now priced at just $83.33, marking a 63% reduction from its original $225 list price. Amazon previously featured this deal as an early Black Friday promotion, but it quickly sold out. If you missed it then, now is your opportunity to secure this delightful collection at its lowest price of the year.
Amazon is also slashing the price of the paperback edition of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, bringing it down to $65.33. This is the lowest price observed for the four-volume paperback set throughout the year. Both deals are expected to be short-lived, as the hardcover collection has previously sold out within hours at higher discount rates, including a $100 offer during Amazon's October Prime Day. Additionally, Amazon is running limited-time deals on more affordable paperback collections of Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. You can grab The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes for around $10—a 50% discount—and The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes for just $7 (originally $20). Here's a list of the top Calvin and Hobbes Black Friday deals beyond the complete collections.
According to Amazon, Calvin and Hobbes is recommended for children aged 12 and above. This recommendation aligns with the book titles mentioned earlier. I read Calvin and Hobbes at a much younger age, and many adult fans likely did the same. The content isn't inappropriate for younger readers, but the wit and social commentary that make Calvin and Hobbes so exceptional might be lost on them. I developed a deeper appreciation for the comic as an adult.
If you prefer smaller paperback collections, explore the ongoing Calvin and Hobbes Portable Compendium series. Andrews McMeel Publishing started reprinting the series in this travel-friendly format last year. Each compendium includes two volumes.
Adults who adore Calvin and Hobbes should consider adding Bill Watterson's latest work, The Mysteries, to their collection. The hardcover edition is currently available for just $8 during Amazon's Black Friday sale. Although The Mysteries is vastly different from Calvin and Hobbes, it offers an intriguing illustrated fable for adult readers.
