Description:
In the Shadow of the Night is the third volume in the UK Calvin and Hobbes series, gathering more of Bill Watterson's magnificent comic strips featuring the unstoppable duo of Calvin and his tiger. Calvin continues to be one of the most hilariously self-important six-year-olds ever committed to paper — equally at war with school, bedtime, parents, vegetables, and the basic concept of rules — while Hobbes remains his loyal, thoughtful, and thoroughly alive companion. This slim collection is packed with the series' trademark blend of screwball comedy, surprisingly sharp wit, and genuine warmth, featuring lively exchanges with Calvin's long-suffering parents and the kind of imaginative escapades that only Watterson could dream up. Whether stumbling upon it as a first introduction or returning as a devoted fan, it delivers pure delight on every page. Recommended for readers aged 8 and above.
