Description

For ten years, Calvin and Hobbes used to be one the world’s most beloved comic strips. And then, on the last day of 1995, the strip ended. Its mercurial and reclusive writer, Bill Watterson, not only finished the strip but withdrew entirely from public life.

In Looking for Calvin and Hobbes, Nevin Martell sets out on a very personal odyssey to have in mind the life and career of the intensely private man in the back of Calvin and Hobbes. Martell talks to a variety of artists and writers (including Dave Barry, Harvey Pekar, and Brad Bird) in addition to some of Watterson’s closest friends and professional colleagues, and along the way reflects upon the nature of his own fandom and on the atypical legacy that Watterson left in the back of. This is as close as we’re ever likely to get to one of The us’s most ingenious and intriguing figures – and it is the fascinating story of an intrepid creator’s search for him, too.
