About the Hate Facsimile Edition #1 (Mature)

To celebrate Fantagraphics' 50th anniversary in 2026, we are proud to bring back this era-defining classic: the comic that made Buddy Bradley a Gen-X slacker antihero! The Seattle Weekly once wrote, 20 years from now, when people wonder what it was like to be young in 1990s Seattle, the best record we'll have is Hate. This legendary comic, introducing Buddy Bradley and his loser roommates Stinky and George, remains a defining icon of grunge-era alternative culture, and a riotous look at aimless youth.
