    Complete Hate Vol 02 TPB (Mature)

    Complete Hate Vol 02 TPB (Mature)

    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). Bagge’s style became a part of the Gen X zeitgeist and Hate became the best-selling alternative comic of its era, with Bagge’s 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.

    How We Ship

    How We Ship

    Unless otherwise noted, all comics sold on the website come with a bag and board.

    All books are shipped in thick cardboard mailers or flats to reduce the risk of damage while shipping. We will NEVER send your book in a floppy shipping envelope that doesn't have protective qualities. 

    Orders are shipped 1-2 days after your order is placed.

    Shipping rates are calculated by the weight of the items and will calculate in your cart at checkout with several options to choose from for shipping.

    Conditions of These Items

    We cannot guarantee your new comic book or collectible will not have some slight imperfections.

    Minor damages, like light corner dings or light spine dings may be present.  

    We do strive to try and spot all seriously damaged items before they are made available to you for purchase online, but we are human and we do deal with 100s of books everyday, so we have the potential to miss some things on our inspection.

    If you feel like we missed a glaringly bad damage in your order, or your entire order was damaged by the mail, please contact us and we'll take it on a case-by-case basis to resolve you issue. 

    Can I Pickup in Store?

    We do offer a Free Local Pickup option for those that live near our stores.

    Our online inventory is located in Nashville, but all of our website inventory is separate from what's in store and kept off-site from the actual store. 

    You will receive a 'Ready For Pickup' notification, either by email or text (depending on your contact settings) when your item is on site and ready to pick up.

    Items are typically ready for pickup next day for Nashville.

    Currently this option is only available for Nashville. Clarksville will be coming soon!

    What Does "Check In Store" Mean

    If you see a white label over the cover image, or the add to cart button has been grayed out and the words "Check In Store" appearing in either of those area, then that mean this item is only available in our inventory at the store, and it is not currently available to order online. 

    This means, baring any inventory mishaps, you can find this item by visiting our Nashville store. 

    Currently we do not have a similar inventory tracker for our Clarksville store.
