Hate #1 [Facsimile Edition]

Peter Bagge’s early-1990s slacker landmark Hate gets a pristine facsimile reprint from Fantagraphics, capturing the raw energy of its debut issue. This single-issue release reproduces the original comic that introduced the world to Buddy Bradley, a disaffected New Jersey transplant navigating the grungy, aimless subculture of Seattle. Bagge’s signature jagged, expressive art and caustic humor are on full display, making this a key document of alternative comics’ golden age. A perfect entry point for new readers or a nostalgic revisit for longtime fans.
