Big Nate is one of the most popular children’s comic properties of the last three decades. Created by Lincoln Peirce, the series follows Nate Wright, a self-assured sixth-grader whose schemes and misadventures at school, home, and around town have filled over seventy books across multiple formats.
The franchise includes chapter book novels (starting with In a Class by Himself in 2010), graphic novel collections of the daily comic strip (From the Top, Out Loud, Big Nate and Friends), activity books (Boredom Buster, Doodlepalooza), and compilation volumes. The graphic novel collections have been particularly prolific, with new volumes appearing almost annually into the 2020s.
Big Nate has also been adapted into an animated series on Paramount+ and a mobile game, making it one of the most successful children’s comic-to-book franchises.
