The Complete Hate is a three-volume set that includes the original 1990-1998 30-issue run, the nine subsequent Hate Annuals, and tons of other Hate-related comics, illustrations, and ephemera created for books, magazines, comics, toys, and other merchandise. Bagge combined his cartoony drawing style with uncomfortably real Gen X characters, and the comic books resonated with readers. Each volume, along with the slipcase, contains new covers, endpapers, title pages, and other surprises by Bagge.

Peter Bagge created Hate, one of the best-selling and most formative comic book series of the ’90s. Born in New York in 1957, after graduating from the School of Visual Arts, Bagge contributed to and, along with R. Crumb, edited the underground anthology Weirdo. Since then Bagge's numerous original graphic novels and collections of comics have won him two Harvey Awards (one for Best Cartoonist in 1991), an Inkpot Award, and garnered six Eisner Award nominations. His social commentary cartoons run in the magazine Reason, and his recent biography of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger is critically acclaimed. He lives in Tacoma, Washington.

Tom Kenny has voiced SpongeBob since its beginning and is also the show's voice director. After starting as a standup comedian, Tom was featured in Bobcat Goldthwait's 1992 cult comedy "Shakes the Clown" and in the influential sketch comedy series "Mr. Show with Bob and David". His hundreds of Voice Over credits include "Rocko's Modern Life", "Adventure Time", "Futurama", and "Rick and Morty". Tom Kenny has received two Emmy Awards for his work on SpongeBob.
