Celebrate the 30th-anniversary of Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes with brand-new hardcover editions of the first three treasury collections! Calvin and Hobbes soared to the top of the bestseller lists in its first month of publication. Something Under The Bed Is Drooling exploded out of the stores, selling nearly a million copies within the first month of publication! Now, those two books are brought together in this oversized book, the first volume in the complete Calvin and Hobbes collection, now in hardcover. Adding to the fun in The Essential Calvin and Hobbes are an original 16-page story and color Sunday cartoons.
