Epic Big Nate

In 2016, Andrews McMeel launched Epic Big Nate, a single-issue comic that collects the early comic-strip adventures of the irrepressible sixth-grader Nate Wright. This oversized volume gathers the first year of Lincoln Peirce’s beloved syndicated strip, offering a dense, full-color introduction to the chaotic halls of P.S. 38 and its cast of unforgettable characters. For readers new to the series, it’s a perfect entry point into the world of detention-prone, cartoon-doodling Nate; for longtime fans, it’s a handsome, complete collection of the strips that started it all.
