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.

The hulking, black-bearded pirate scourge does enjoy the privilege of an extended fistfight with the sailor man (nearly getting permanently dispatched by the terrible force of Popeye's ... Read More

An Ode to Popeye
Oh, the glorious comic strip that was Popeye and Thimble Theatre.
The cast that speaketh forth in forked tongues, and lips,
Of Olive Oyl, and her father Mister Oyl,
King Blozo , Oscar, and The Black Chinese Parrot, and the Eighth Sea
(Ahh, I remember you well)
Of Castor and his detecitiff Agency, may you solve prosperous crimes
Of Bluto and his wandering ways, violence begets bruises
And boxing begets bruises too... ... Read More
