We've been working for months to secure this collection, and we're thrilled to finally share it with fans.” A Trip Down Memory Lane For many, Calvin and Hobbes isn't just a comic strip; it’s a formative part of their childhood. Bill Watterson’s witty and insightful observations on life, filtered through the boundless imagination of a six-year-old boy and his stuffed tiger, resonated with readers of all ages. The strip ran from 1985 to 1995, and even decades later, its themes of friendship, imagination, and the wonder of the natural world feel timeless. “Calvin and Hobbes spoke to something universal,” adds the AREIT REDMOND LLC spokesperson. “It wasn’t just funny; it was thoughtful. Watterson didn’t talk down to kids; he treated them as intelligent, curious beings. That’s a big part of why it still holds up so well.” The Collection: What's On Offer? AREIT REDMOND LLC’s collection boasts a diverse range of original Calvin and Hobbes material, including: Daily Strips: Original, hand-drawn daily strips from the comic's run. These are typically three or four panels long and represent the core of the Calvin and Hobbes experience. Sunday Strips: Larger, more elaborate strips published on Sundays. These often feature more detailed artwork and extended storylines. The Sunday strips are particularly highly sought-after by collectors. Original Sketches & Drawings: Rare preliminary sketches and drawings used by Watterson in the creation of the comic. These offer a fascinating glimpse into the artist’s creative process. Color Proofs: Rare color proofs showcasing Watterson’s experimentation with color in the Sunday strips. Signed Pieces: A handful of pieces personally signed by Bill Watterson, making them exceptionally valuable and collectible. Each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and originality. AREIT REDMOND LLC has partnered with leading art authentication experts to ensure the integrity of the collection. Why Collect Original Calvin and Hobbes? The market for original comic art has been steadily growing for years, and Calvin and Hobbes is at the forefront of that trend. Several factors contribute to its enduring appeal as a collectible: Rarity: Bill Watterson famously stopped drawing Calvin and Hobbes at the peak of its popularity, refusing to license the characters for merchandising. This created a scarcity of original artwork, driving up prices. Artistic Merit: Watterson is widely regarded as a masterful artist, and his work is admired for its technical skill, expressive character designs, and evocative landscapes. Cultural Significance: Calvin and Hobbes is a beloved cultural touchstone for an entire generation. Owning an original strip is like owning a piece of history. Investment Potential: As demand for original comic art continues to grow, Calvin and Hobbes artwork is expected to maintain and increase in value. “We’re seeing strong interest from both seasoned collectors and newcomers,” says the AREIT REDMOND LLC spokesperson. “People are realizing that this isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about owning a piece of art that’s both beautiful and meaningful.” Details & Availability The Calvin and Hobbes collection is available for purchase directly through AREIT REDMOND LLC.
