xkcd: volume 0 is the first xkcd book! It features selections from the first 600 comics, including various author and fan favorites. It was lovingly assembled from high-resolution original scans of the comics (the mouseover text is discreetly included), and features a lot of doodles, notes, and puzzles in the margins.

xkcd: volume 0 is a book by Randall Munroe released on August 24, 2010. It features a collection of comics personally chosen by the artist from the initial 600 entries of the webcomic. These comics were assembled from high-resolution original scans and include the original or, sometimes, a different title text. The book is available to read in full on the Internet Archive.

The book is published by Breadpig, a company founded by Randall's friend Alexis, and their portion of the profits will go to build a school in Laos through the charity Room to Read.

[There are several otherwise nondescript gray rectangles on which the characters stand on. Red spiders are present throughout the panel.]

[Two of these rectangles are attached from the area around the right corner and going off of the cover, in an L-shape. Black Hat stands on it, taking notes on a journal. Twenty-three red spiders lie on the object. Nine of them are clustered in the inner L corner, four of them forming chains. An additional red spider has just fallen off of the object from the right.]

[To L shape's right, in the air, Cory Doctorow in his red suit is shown punching a red spider.]
