Critics Review
Modern audiences who know Popeye and his supporting cast only through later animated cartoons will be surprised by the richness of his original incarnation.– “Booklist” This new volume is perfect for a classic cartoon fan. Its focus on relatable themes like love, romance, commerce, and daffy humor make it a series readers should not miss.– “Screen Rant” Just as Charles Dickens took advantage of the serial publication of his early novels to introduce new characters and change directions, so also did Segar add, subtract and tinker until he had his comic strip working at its peak – and a brilliant, witty peak it was.– “The Washington Post” One of the great geniuses of the comic strip form, E. C. Segar created work that represents some of America’s finest art in its epic scale, colloquial language, daffy humor and themes of romance and commerce…. Not to be missed.– “Time Magazine”
