I'm not a comics guy. So, I don't know much about them, in general, or the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, in particular. But I do know what a big markdown looks like, and what great ratings looks like, too. And this book has both.

Calvin and Hobbes is actually one of the classic comic strips beloved by nearly everyone. It was insanely popular when running, and remains so to this day. Many people wish it would return, but that's not going to happen.
The Essential Calvin and Hobbes is essentially a sampler, and a digital version of a print book of the same name. Still a good deal, but it sucks they make these where you can't download them to Kindle for PC. I'm pretty sure the
real reason is "we don't want people to pirate the comics!" but they're already out there for pirating. Hell, all the
Calvin and Hobbes strips are available in decent quality on
GoComics for free legally.
Incidentally, for the
Calvin and Hobbes fans out there, check out
Phoebe and Her Unicorn, it's been compared favorably to
Calvin and Hobbes but with a female lead. Also free to read. It's one of my favorite comics now.
Thanks for posting this deal, as well as others.
