HATE follows the foibles of the semi-autobiographical Buddy Bradley. Hate became the voice of the twenty-nothing slackers as well as being hailed by critics for its brilliant characterization in its complete chronicle of the 1990s.

In this issue: Peter Bagge ended his third year as the cronicler of disaffected twenty-somethings with a raucous take on the collector mentality - and that of those who prey upon them! In a story entitled "Collector Scum," Buddy decides he's going to get rich quick by opening a business as a buyer and seller of worthless '60s and '70s memorabilia. But he's reckoned without the bizarre and savagely petty nature of collectors - and little does he realize that Lisa, whom he's enlisted to assist him, becomes decidedly more interested in the intrigues and warfare among the collectors than in actually selling any stuff. To no one's surprise, everything ends disastrously, of course!
