Product Description:
Our third volume (of six) of the acclaimed hit all-ages series collecting the entirety of E.C. Segar's original Popeye (a.k.a. Thimble Theatre) comic strips features work from 1932 to 1934. In addition to the daily and Sunday strips, this volume will present a true collector's item: Segar's never-reprinted two-week "World's Fair" continuity. This sequence has never been republished since its original publication 75 years ago. This volume will also contain the conclusion of Donald Phelps's incisive and articulate critical essay on Segar's work "Real People, Real Theatre," and Richard Marschall's insightful analysis of Segar's continuity and story techniques. E.C. Segar blended complex narratives, slapstick traditions, brilliant characterization, and an inimitable cartooning style to create the most exciting and profound humor of his era.

This is the third volume of Fantagraphics Books series that intends to reprint the complete run of E.C. Segar's Popeye comic strip. This book reprints the black and white daily strips from June 9, 1932 to December 9, 1933 and the Sunday color strips from October 9, 1932 to November 26, 1933, plus advertising comic strips promoting the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago. Major events include the first appearances of Sweet Pea and Bluto, with this being Bluto's ONLY appearance in the strip during Segar's ... Read More

Most people think of Popeye as a violent sailor that is always fighting over Olive Oyl. Which is so wrong! You have to read the whole story of Popeye in these books to realize what a sweet soul Popeye really is and how much he loved kids. If you only see those old Popeye cartoons you are missing a real treat. These books have had this old lady unable to put them down. I'm waiting for the next book in the series. Can't wait to read more about Popeye and the Sea Hag!

Including the never-before-reprinted 1933 'Popeye, Wimpy, and Olive at the Chicago World's Fair' storyline, the third Popeye volume 'Let's You and Him Fight!' presents a winning complete reprint of Seger's Popeye strips and represents the halfway point in the Popeye saga with this volume. Mostly black and white with a few color panels make for an excellent oversized presentation of strips perfect for in-depth graphic novel or comics collection in general, and for Popeye fans in particular.

I've been buying these volumes for a Popeye fan each year -- 3rd gift. This is a knowledgeable and selective fan who has enjoyed these books immensely. So, for anyone who knows and loves Popeye, this is the real thing.

Famous characters that have stood the test of time generally evolve into something much greater then their creators could have ever envisioned. Few people look back at the Siegel and Schuster days as the height of Superman or the Kane and Finger tenure helming Batman as the characters peak. Ian Fleming wrote some fine spy novels but without the films Bond would be just another fairly non-descript spy in an obscure series of books. In this respect Popeye is the rare exception to the rule because no one ... Read More
