Calvin und Hobbes, Band 1

Bill Watterson (actually William B. Watterson II.) was born on July 5, 1958, in Washington D.C. When he was six years old, his family moved to Ohio. There, Watterson successfully completed his studies in political science in 1980. He is married to his wife Melissa and lives quite privately. He has always shunned the public eye and hated being in the spotlight or being regarded as a "celebrity." Since the late 1980s, the popular artist has not given any interviews. Therefore, not much is known about him as a person. Just five years after graduating, Watterson published the cult comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes." For ten years, he illustrated the adventures of the little boy and his stuffed tiger until he published the last strip featuring the little troublemaker and his plush tiger on December 31, 1995, at his own request. By the end of his career, his comic strip was printed in over 2,300 different newspapers worldwide, and the sales of the individual collected volumes now stand at around 30 million.

Life can be so beautiful! Especially when a few beloved friends unexpectedly show up at your door with a lot of fun in tow: Calvin and Hobbes are back!.
