Big Nate: From the Top

Big Nate: From the Top (#1) is a compilation of comic strips by Lincoln Pierce from August 2006 through April 2007.

Big Nate is in a class by himself. This spunky 11-year-old holds the school record in detentions, but that doesn't stop him from dreaming big! Big Nate is taking it from the top--the top of the troublemaker's list!

Nate Wright is eleven years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and the all-time record holder for school detentions in school history. He's a self-described genius and sixth-grade Renaissance man. Kids everywhere can relate to Big Nate's daily battle against overzealous teachers, backbreaking homework, wimpy cafeteria food, and all-around conventionality. The volume that started it all, this collection features cartoonist Lincoln Peirce's signature comics packed with vintage flair and timeless school humor.

Actor Charlie Schlatter is the voice of Nate's buddy Chad Applewhite in the animated adaptation of this strip and we're excited to have Charlie as a Wellsboro Comicon 2023 guest!
