But back in the day, reading them required collecting a number of independent, unordered volumes, so it was hard to figure out what books came first, and which books overlapped content. What the experts say: Benjamin Frisch, producer of Slate’s Decoder Ring and the author of the graphic novel The Fun Family, says: “I read the Calvin and Hobbes paperbacks voraciously when I was young. When The Complete Calvin and Hobbes was released in 2005, Chris Suellentrop wrote, “it’s become apparent that, just as Charles Schulz was the first master of the modern newspaper comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes’ Bill Watterson was likely the last.” Thus, this three-volume, 17-pound collection is a precious object, the equivalent of being able to binge-watch 10 years of America’s last great newspaper comic strip. Why you want this: The final strip of Calvin and Hobbes ran almost 25 years ago, but the comic still looms large in the cultural imagination.
