This new four-volume series collects the complete run of the original\u003cbr\u003e Popeye Sunday newspaper page adventures in an accessible and affordable paperback\u003cbr\u003e format! Part slapstick, tongue-twisting comedy, part escapist, Depression-era fantasy, part\u003cbr\u003e tenderhearted yet tumultuous romance, Elsie Crisler Segar's newspaper comic strip\u003cbr\u003e captivated readers of the Roaring Twenties and beyond. And Popeye, the sailor\u003cbr\u003e man, was the unlikely start of the show. Fantagraphics is thrilled to bring Segar's\u003cbr\u003e whimsical world back into print, reviving the origins of the beloved spinach-eating\u003cbr\u003e American icon for a whole new readership.

Volume one highlights Popeye's riotous romance with his sweet patootie - Olive Oyl. As he courts Olive in comically clumsy fashion, she proves that her sharp wit runs rings around his muddled brain! Next, he becomes a prizefighter and must\u003cbr\u003e contend with a series of fearsome opponents, from Johnny Brawn to a literal gorilla.\u003cbr\u003e Once outside the ring, however, his ferocity turns to sweet sentiment, and he gives\u003cbr\u003e away all his winnings to poor widows, old folks, and orphanages. Featuring laughout-\u003cbr\u003e loud gags, sensational slugfests, and endearing cast of characters, this revival\u003cbr\u003e of classic Popeye adventures will captivate stalwart fans and new readers alike.\u003cbr\u003e E.C.
