Calvin And Hobbes Appraisal

Tommy og Tigern (Calvin and Hobbes) Comic Book, Nr. 4-1991

This item is a vintage comic book titled "Tommy og Tigern," which is the Norwegian translation of the popular American comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes." The cover features vibrant colors, predominantly yellow, with illustrations of Calvin (Tommy) dancing enthusiastically with sunglasses and a boombox, while Hobbes (Tigern) is also dancing and exclaiming "oh, YEAH!". The title 'TOMMY OG TIGERN' appears in large, playful red and black lettering. In the upper right corner, there's a smaller image of another cartoon character, likely Grimmy from 'Mother Goose and Grimm,' and the text 'GRIMMY'. The comic book is numbered 'NR. 4-1991', indicating it is the fourth issue from the year 1991. The original price of 'Kr. 14.50' is visible on the cover. A white sticker with '5.-' suggests a reduced or secondary market price at some point. The bottom portion of the cover advertises other humor series, including 'ERNIE', 'OPUS', and 'X-ORD', implying this issue is a collection featuring multiple comic strips. A barcode is also present on the bottom left corner, with 'bc 255 04' printed beneath it. The physical condition appears good for its age, though there might be minor signs of wear typical for a paper item from 1991, such as slight edge wear or minor creasing, which are not clearly visible in this image. The colors remain bright and unfaded. Printed on paper, likely glossy for the cover, the comic book reflects the popular culture of the early 1990s and is a prime example of translated comic strip compilations during that era. Its unique aspect is the Norwegian translation of a universally loved comic, making it a collector's item for fans of 'Calvin and Hobbes' or international comic book collectors.
