Bill Watterson

From Bill Watterson, bestselling creator of the beloved comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, and John Kascht, one of America’s most renowned caricaturists, comes a mysterious and beautifully illustrated fable about what lies beyond human understanding. In a fable for grown-ups by cartoonist Bill Watterson, a long-ago kingdom is afflicted with unexplainable calamities. Hoping to end the torment, the king dispatches his knights to discover the source of the mysterious events. Years later, a single battered knight returns. For the book's illustrations, Watterson and caricaturist John Kascht worked together for several years in unusually close collaboration. Both artists abandoned their past ways of working, inventing images together that neither could anticipate—a mysterious process in its own right. With The Mysteries, Watterson and Kascht share the fascinating genesis of their extraordinary collaboration in a video that can be viewed on Andrews McMeel Publishing's YouTube page.

Calvin and Hobbesis unquestionably one of the most popular comic strips of all time. The imaginative world of a boy and his real-only-to-him tiger was first syndicated in 1985 and appeared in more than 2,400 newspapers when Bill Watterson retired on January 1, 1996. The entire body of Calvin and Hobbescartoons was originally published in hardcover as a truly noteworthy tribute to this singular cartoon in The Complete Calvin and Hobbes. Available for the first time in paperback, these four full-colour volumes in a sturdy slipcase include all the Calvin and Hobbescartoons that ever appeared in syndication. This is the treasure that all Calvin and Hobbesfans seek.

Calvin a jeho plyšový tygr Hobbes jsou zpátky. Jejich plány a cíle jsou obrovské, ale v cestě jim stojí spousta překážek. Učitelé, rodiče, Susie Derkinová, mutanti pod postelí, špatně fungující stroje času, transmutační pistole a pak hlavně ta obtížná, otravná věc zvaná realita. Ale s pomocí tygra a fantazie se dá pokořit i ta. Třetí sborník příběhů Calvina a Hobbese, jedněch z nejslavnějších stripových postav. Filozofie a destrukce, to všechno v jednom balení.

Vstupte do úžasného a fantaskního světa, plného podivných vynálezů (obvykle zastupovaných papírovou krabicí s neuměle načmáraným nápisem), makabricky se vraždících sněhuláků, monster převlečených za učitelku či ředitele školy a her s nepochopitelnými pravidly. Je to svět, který si člověk pamatuje z dětství... jen to Calvin dokáže dotáhnout vždycky trochu dál. Taky, kdo z nás měl v dětství jako parťáka filozofujícího a ironického tygra? I když Calvin a Hobbes vycházeli pouze deset let, bez problémů se zařadili mezi nejslavnější stripové série všech dob. V jedné chvíli vycházeli ve 2 400 novinách najednou a jejich sebraných spisů se prodalo jen v Americe třicet milionů. Za deset let své existence získali sedmnáct cen, mezi nimi Eisner Award, Harvey Award, Adamson Award, Reuben Award, vyhráli i na prestižním komiksovém festivalu v Angouleme, a stali se objektem obdivných ód i filozofickým spisů.
