The Complete Hate

A three-issue series from Fantagraphics collecting Peter Bagge's landmark 1990s alternative comic Hate, this 2025–2026 edition reprints the complete run of the original series in a single, definitive package. Known for its sharp, unflattering satire of slacker culture and Gen-X ennui, Hate follows the misadventures of Buddy Bradley as he navigates grunge-era Seattle and later suburban New Jersey. Bagge's rubbery, exaggerated artwork and caustic humor made Hate a defining voice of the alternative-comics boom, and this collection preserves its full, unexpurgated impact for new readers and longtime fans alike.
