Book Details:
- The first set of books collecting Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes comics in a compact, portable format designed to introduce the timeless adventures of a boy and his stuffed tiger to a new generation of readers.
- This set is composed of two 144-page paperback books, including nearly 500 comics from the strip's debut in Nov. 1985 through March 1987. It is the first of seven sets total to be released between 2023 and 2026.
- Calvin and Hobbes is unquestionably one of the most popular comic strips of all time. The imaginative world of a boy and his real-only-to-him tiger first appeared in 1985 and could be read in more than 2,400 newspapers when Bill Watterson retired on January 1, 1996.
- Featuring archival slipcase and cover art selected by the author, The Calvin and Hobbes Portable Compendium pays tribute to the strip's origin in newspapers while appealing to both new and existing fans of Calvin and Hobbes.

I own two copies of the complete set as well as a copy of all the books.
I'd think the old book format is a reasonable size, anything smaller would be harder to read and see the illustration.
Ild personally like a high rez version for large tablet consumption.

I tell them they don't have to wait as long as I'd had to wait for the new one to show up in the Scholastic book order. I still have a few of them around, but they appreciate that they're getting everything in order with these new books.
Yes, I have several full scans of the complete run digitally as well, but it doesn't have the same charm for me or for them.
Addressing someone else's concern about their being too small to show all the detail: the Sunday comics are a bit small, but Watterson didn't have detail in his work more intricate than what I can see here.
