Peter Bagge is not only one of the primary architects of the alternative comics scene that exploded in the 1980s and 1990s (alongside peers including Gilbert Hernandez, Jaime Hernandez, and Daniel Clowes), but also someone who helped fashion the aesthetics and attitudes of an entire youth movement. His comic book series, Hate, chronicled the exploits of twentysomething Buddy Bradley and his gang of lovable losers through the rise and fall of the grunge era (and eventually beyond). Bagges style became a part of the Gen X zeitgeist and Hate became the bestselling alternative comic of its era, with Bagges illustrations gracing countless album and magazine covers as well. The Complete Hate Volume 2 collects Hate issues 16 thru 30 (19941998), which comprise the second major arc of the series the fullcolour Jersey suburbs era! With his rockimpresario career in tatters, his friends dispersed, and his career opportunities at zero, Buddy returns with his tail between his legs (and his neurotic girlfriend Lisa by his side) to his native New Jersey to be closer to family (his sister now a harassed mom, his brother still pretty much a psycho, and his parents?well, wait and see). Also included in this volume is the shocking final fate of the exuberant Stinky a story that caused jaws to drop in unison all around the world when it was originally released and the riotous tale of Lisas brief conversion to lesbianism and subsequent breakup with Buddy. Part screwball comedy, part soap...
