Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects Hate (1990-1994 1st Printing) #1-15. Story and art by Peter Bagge. Peter Bagge, along with the Hernandez brothers and Daniel Clowes, is one of the primary architects of the alternative comics genre that exploded in the 1980s and 1990s. His compelling and best-selling comic book series Hate chronicled the exploits of Buddy Bradley and his gang of lovable losers through the rise and fall of the grunge era, and beyond. Going beyond mere satire, Bagges observations helped fashion the aesthetics and attitudes of the only significant youth movement to emerge from the Pacific Northwest. A contemporary review by Bruce Barcott in the Seattle Weekly stated, Twenty years from now, when people want to know what it was like to be young in 1990s Seattle, the only record well have is Peter Bagges Hate. The Complete Hate is a new paperback series that includes the original 30-issue run from 1990–1998, 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. Vol. 1 collects the first major arc of the series, (Hate 1-15), focusing on young Buddy Bradley's travails in early 1990s Seattle, with a lengthy introduction by Bagge. Each volume contains new covers, endpapers, title pages, and other surprises by the author. Softcover, 348 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $29.99.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. Collects Hate (1990-1994 1st Printing) #16-30. Story and art by Peter Bagge. Peter Bagge is not only one of the primary architects of the alternative comics scene that exploded in the 1980s and 1990s (alongside peers including Gilbert Hernandez, Jaime Hernandez, and Daniel Clowes), but also someone who helped fashion the aesthetics and attitudes of an entire youth movement. His comic book series, Hate, chronicled the exploits of twentysomething Buddy Bradley and his gang of lovable losers through the rise and fall of the grunge era (and eventually beyond). Bagges style became a part of the Gen X zeitgeist and Hate became the best-selling alternative comic of its era, with Bagges illustrations gracing countless album and magazine covers as well. The Complete Hate Volume 2 collects Hate issues 16 thru 30 (1994–1998), which comprise the second major arc of the series — the full-color Jersey suburbs era! With his rock-impresario career in tatters, his friends dispersed, and his career opportunities at zero, Buddy returns with his tail between his legs (and his neurotic girlfriend Lisa by his side) to his native New Jersey to be closer to family. Also included in this volume is the shocking final fate of the exuberant Stinky, a story that caused jaws to drop in unison all around the world when it was originally released, and the riotous tale of Lisa's brief conversion to lesbianism and subsequent breakup with Buddy. Part screwball comedy, part soap opera, part loose autobiography, Hate is an enduring chronicle of the 1990s as well as riotously relatable to anyone bumbling through their twenties. Softcover, 348 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $29.99.
