Garfield Vol. 1 Reviews


  • Jerry

    Though the individual strips can be fun, I've always thought the Garfield strip was better when it went into long sequences; a personal favorite is the Tubby Tabby's bout of amnesia. So, after reading the same old fat cat stories again and again, it's fun to have something new...and in a bit of a different format. If you're one of those people like Maddox who can't stand Jim Davis' creation, you probably won't enjoy this...but, for longtime fans like me, this is worth checking out.

  • Joshua

    The coloring has been seriously overhauled since the original newspaper comics of Garfield I used to read as a kid. I gave it a 5 star rating for only one reason...it's Garfield! Enough said!

  • Tea

    I really like the old comics. I used to love reading them. These aren't bad either, they just aren't as good as the old ones. But, Garfield is Garfield. He is as grumpy and hungry as ever haha.

    I will read the second volume maybe it's just a first volume thing and the others are better.

  • Erth

    Good story. I love Garfield comics!

  • groundmar

    still fun to read, though I think I liked the Garfield comic books I read as a kid better.

  • Isabella

    My top 5 favorite comic books!!

  • Heather

    Some of the stories were funnier than others, but it's Garfield. What's not to love?

    At the end was a collection showing the first appearances of each Garfield, Odie, and Nermal. Also, I learned in this comic book that Nermal is a male cat and belongs to Jon's parents. I thought Nermal was a girl and that she belonged to a neighbor. Now I know!

    Fun to read once but maybe not something I'd buy to reread.

  • Charles

    Blast from the past. I enjoyed reading Garfield in color and in graphic novel format. Same old Garfield who insults his owner and fellow pets and is always hungry. I have fond memories of reading Garfield in the newspaper and in the rectangular books of comic strip compilations. I can definitely see Garfield as an inspiration for other comic strips. I recommend this book for Garfield fans and for those who like to see a pet act as the boss.

    Reflections and lessons learned:
    “I hope you appreciate that I do all my own stunts in this comic book! And by the way, I really do them - this isn’t cgi!”

    Familiar characters, familiar cat capers, familiar lasagna and pizza eating - does any comic book break the fourth wall from the main harrumphing character as well as this? And I still love Nermal… looking forward to revisiting and reading more from this series

  • Nikki

    This book was ok. It wasn’t as good as the original Garfield comic strips but it wasn’t as horrible as some of the other Garfield comics I’ve read. This book was a bunch of stories told in comics. Some of the stories were interesting and some were kind of pointless. They weren’t nearly as funny as the original Garfield comic strips. So overall the book was ok but it wasn’t great.

  • Jen

    I’m giving this 5 stars for the joy it brings me to see Garfield, Odie and Nermal in sharp, glorious color, and the great memories as I’m reminded of my childhood obsessed with Garfield. This is geared more towards children but it was nice taking a stroll down memory lane. Nermal is my favorite! 🐈

  • Jess

    Jim Davis! You old so-and-so! I read this book in under an hour. Thought-provoking, witty, and not to mention plain old smart! Garfield and his mischievous adventures never fail to disappoint this reader! My one critique, I wanted more!

  • Rachel

    4 stars.

    It's Garfield. Enough said.
    (Though it would have been 5 stars if there had been the short comic strips with it)

  • Еl

    I'd never read a Garfield, I've only seen the movie but. Holy shit. I am him, he is me, we are one. The Original Hefty Chonker

    Very good Garfield comic that has the same look and humor as the cartoon show. I enjoy this type of Garfield comic over the classic kind to be honest.
