description: The Complete Hate is a three-volume set that includes the original 1990-1998 30-issue run the nine subsequent Hate Annuals and tons of other Hate-related comics illustrations and ephemera created for books magazines comics toys and other merchandise. Bagge combined his cartoony drawing style with uncomfortably real Gen X characters and the comic books resonated with readers. Book One (Hate 1-15) focuses on young Buddy Bradley's travails in early 1990s Seattle. Book Two focuses on Buddy and his girlfriend Lisa Leavenworth's move back to Buddy's native New Jersey (and a switch from black-and-white to full color). Book Three features the final arc of Bagge's magnum opus as Buddy and Lisa become parents (and buy a garbage dump). Each volume along with the slipcase contains new covers endpapers title pages and other surprises by Bagge.
