Peter Bagge is one of the most influential and controversial underground comics artists of all time. His work has been praised for its originality, humor, and social commentary, but it has also been criticized for its violence and misogyny. The Complete Hate is the first book to collect all of Bagge's major works, and it offers a comprehensive overview of his career.

Bagge began his career in the early 1980s, publishing his work in small-press comics anthologies. In 1982, he created his most famous character, Buddy Bradley, a cynical and misanthropic slacker who appeared in a series of stories called Hate. Hate was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to establish Bagge as one of the leading figures in the underground comics scene.

In the years that followed, Bagge continued to produce work that was both controversial and acclaimed. He created the series Braindead, Neat Stuff, and The Idiots, all of which featured characters who were just as dysfunctional and misanthropic as Buddy Bradley. Bagge also wrote and drew the graphic novel The Everlasting, a sprawling and ambitious work that explored themes of death, loss, and redemption.

The Complete Hate collects all of Bagge's major works, from Hate to The Everlasting. It also includes a new by Bagge, and an essay by comics historian R.C. Harvey. The Complete Hate is the definitive guide to the work of one of the most important and influential underground comics artists of all time.
