The Big Nate Comic Strips series collects Lincoln Peirce’s newspaper comic strip into book-length volumes. The strip has been running since 1991 and follows sixth-grader Nate Wright through daily school life, sports, and clashes with authority figures. Each collection gathers strips around loose themes or chronological periods.

The series has over thirty volumes, starting with From the Top in 2010, and continues to release new collections as the strip produces new material. These books are the primary way readers encounter the original comic strip format of Big Nate, distinct from the illustrated novels and graphic novel adaptations that came later.
