Hate Revisited!

Legendary cartoonist Peter Bagge triumphantly returns to the series that defined a generation with this all-newHategraphic novel.

Publisher Marketing: Bagge's art jiggles with trademark elastic charm. His animated, rubber-hose-limbed characters vibrate on a frequency midway between the aggro exaggeration of Robert Crumb and the emotional expressiveness of Charles Schulz.-- "Publishers Weekly" Review Quotes : Bagge's cartooning is at its elastic best with his vast cast's emotional states forever imprinted on us for their extreme visual characterization. If you were at all concerned that this was a revival that would have nothing new to say in 2024 you would have been very much mistaken. Hate Revisited! is a triumph!-- "Broken Frontier" Review Quotes : A skillful continuation of Buddy Bradley's misanthropic saga, offering a brutally funny, and occasionally surprisingly poignant, reflection on aging, relationships, and personal growth.-- "Library Journal" Review Quotes : This is a perfect revival of a classic comic series and an apt reflection of what is happening in America today. This is one that alternative comic fans new and old will not want to miss.-- "The Turnaround Blog" Review Quotes : Peter Bagge is one of my all-time favorite cartoonists. He has a style unto his own. You can definitely pick out a Buddy Bradley drawing out of a lineup. Not only is his cartooning great, but his writing is hilarious. One of the only cartoonists that can make me laugh out loud literally.-- "Taylor Talks Comics" Review Quotes : Outrageous and topical. ... Bagge keenly and humorously observes our divided and divisive culture, grounding the work in his affinity for family.-- "Kirkus Reviews" Review Quotes : [Bagge's] characters are still hysterically entertaining after over 35 years in print because they're inscrutable, often act like assholes, and serve as reflections of people we really know in our own lives. Bagge has long used our political and social combustibility as comedic kindling to ignite Hate's elastic, slapstick satire, and in Hate Revisited it is more pronounced than ever before.-- "The Arts STL" Publisher Marketing : Buddy Bradley and Lisa Leavenworth, now middle aged with a free-spirited young adult of their own, confront their own poor decisions as young people in the grungy 1990s. Expertly shifting between the present day (in full color) and their Gen X heyday (in glorious, crosshatched black-and-white), we learn for the first time the story of how Buddy met Lisa, Stinky, George, and Val. Meanwhile, Buddy is forced to come to terms with the tragic -- and covered-up -- circumstances of Stinky's untimely death in the original Hate series, while navigating elder care, contemporary politics, family and friendships.
