Calvin and Hobbes is unquestionably one of the most popular comic strips of all time.

The entire body of Calvin and Hobbes cartoons published in a truly noteworthy tribute to this singular cartoon in The Complete Calvin and Hobbes. Composed of three hardcover, four-color volumes in a sturdy slipcase, this New York Times best-selling edition includes all Calvin and Hobbes cartoons that ever appeared in syndication. This is the treasure that all Calvin and Hobbes fans seek.

Calvin and Hobbes one of the few universally admired by other cartoonists." --Charles Solomon, Los Angeles Times Book Review

A new Alice manga series by the author of the New York Times bestseller Alice in the Country of Hearts

In this all-new follow-up to QuinRose’s bestselling Alice in the Country of Hearts manga series, Alice in the Country of Hearts: The Mad Hatter’s Late Night Tea Party focuses on the fan-favorite character of Blood Dupre. As this manga is an alternate retelling of the “hearts” storyline, it can be read independently of the original Alice in the Country of Hearts series.

Alice in the Country of Hearts: The Mad Hatter’s Late Night Tea Party is a two-book series that chronicles the further adventures of Alice as she goes deeper down the rabbit hole. Like the other New York Times bestselling books in the Alice in the Country of Clover series, this new series features oversized editions with impressive artwork and color pinups.

Blood Dupre is the enigmatic leader of the Hatters, Wonderland’s mafia. Along with his second-in-command, Elliot March, also known as the March Hare, Blood Dupre schemes from the shadows inside Hatter Mansion, while keeping his enemies at bay. Yet when Alice Lidell enters his life, she gives the dangerous mafia boss a run for his money.
