This would make for a great gift for longtime fans of the beloved comic strip and those who want to introduce Watterson's masterpiece to a new generation of readers.

If the hardcover version is too pricey, you can check out a paperback version for just $67.49 (down from $135). This volume features similar artwork and every single comic strip from the cartoon's history, making it a great way to enjoy the iconic adventures without dropping too much cash.

Calvin and Hobbes are without a doubt two of the most recognizable faces in the world of comics. But when Watterson returned this year to publish a new book, he and caricaturist John Kascht took a bold new direction, abandoning the two familiar faces.

Instead, The Mysteries is a "fable for grown-ups" that tells the story of an old kingdom that's "afflicted with unexplainable calamities." If you haven't yet checked it out--or want something totally different from Calvin and Hobbes--you can pick up a hardcover version for $17 on Amazon.
