Bill Watterson's New Book: The Return Of A Legend?
Whatever happened to the whimsical genius behind one of the most beloved comic strips of all time? Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes, has emerged from a near three-decade silence, much to the delight of his devoted fans.
After years of relative seclusion, Watterson's return to the world of print is marked by "The Mysteries," a fable created in collaboration with American cartoonist John Kascht. Set to release on October 10, 2023, the new book promises to deliver the same sense of enchantment that permeated his iconic comic strip, albeit in a different form. This collaboration marks a significant moment for the artist, whose dedication to artistic integrity has long been admired.
