Calvin and Hobbes are two of the most iconic names in comics, and on March 5, more of the duo’s adventures are being rereleased in a portable paperback set. The Calvin and Hobbes Portable Compendium: Volume 2 is now up for preorder at Amazon–and there’s a slight discount if you decide to reserve your copy prior to launch.
The Calvin and Hobbes Portable Compendium: Volume 2
$20 (was $22)
This 288-page collection includes nearly 500 comic strips offered in chronological order and covering the period of March 1987 to July 1988. It features two books–numbers three and four in this series–that can be stowed inside a compact slipcase (which features artwork from Bill Watterson). The books include both black-and-white and color illustrations and clock in at just 6.1 inches by 9.1 inches, making it easy to slip them into a backpack or toss them into a suitcase.

The first volume of the Portable Compendium collection was released last August and is available at a more substantial discount (down to $14.63 from its usual $20). It offers the same number of pages and a similar, streamlined profile, so consider grabbing it to get the first two books in a pocketable format.
If you’re unconcerned about travel-friendly editions of Calvin and Hobbes, you can pick up The Complete Calvin and Hobbes Box Set for $68 (down from $135). Available now, the 1,456-page paperback collection looks great on a bookcase and is a great way to show off the comics. The hardcover collection is also up for grabs, but it’s quite a bit more expensive–though it’s currently on sale for $129, down from its list price of $225. If you’re a longtime fan, this collection is the best way to enjoy the entire series.
Bill Watterson is best-known for Calvin and Hobbes, but last year he made his long-awaited return to publishing with The Mysteries, a new graphic novel with a decidedly different vibe from Watterson’s earlier work.
