Reviews
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., An essential volume of both graphic storytelling and early 20th-century art. ... Nearly every episode collected here reveals Segar to be an absurdly hilarious master draftsman and wildly entertaining storyteller., Modern audiences who know Popeye and his supporting cast only through later animated cartoons will be surprised by the richness of his original incarnation., 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., 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., It was here that the Popeye/Olive Oyl modern romance began: a series of encounters full of bile, intransigence, repressed hostility, jealousy, mind games and passion which usually ended in raised voices and scintillating cartoon violence -- and they are still as riotously funny now as then.

Fantagraphics' first volume of The E.C. Segar PopeyeSundays seriesfeatures the beloved spinach-eater and his slapstick romance with his sweetpatootie - Olive Oyl. As he courts Olive in comically clumsy fashion, she provesthat her sharp wit runs rings aroundhis muddled brain! In thisvolume, Popeye proves his mettleas he becomes a prizefighter and must contend with aseries of fearsome opponents, from Johnny Brawn to a literal gorilla. Onceoutside the ring, however, his ferocity turns to sweet sentiment, and he givesaway all his winnings to poor widows, old folks, and orphanages. This new seriesbrings the whimsical world of Popeye back in print so that stalwart fans and newreaders alike can thrill at the strip's laugh-out-loud gags, sensationalslugfests, and endearing cast ofcharacters. Everybody knows Popeye, the one-eyedsailor with fists of iron and a heart of gold. But not everyone realizes that heoriginated as the unlikely star of thenewspaper comic strip Thimble Theatre , which was popular in the RoaringTwenties. Fantagraphics' earlier deluxe hardcover Popeye series has long been outof print. Weare thrilled to bring Popeye back to his roots, reprinting the completefull-colorSunday stories in a larger format than ever before and beautifully packaged in acustom-designedslipcase. E.C. Segar (1894-1938) was an American cartoonist knownfor creating Popeye, the star of his comic series ThimbleTheatre ., Well, blow me down! This new four-volume series collects the complete run of the original Popeye Sunday newspaper page adventures in an accessible and affordable slipcased paperback format!, An irresistible alchemy of screwball comedy, tender romance, and rags-to-riches fantasy, Elsie Crisler Segar's newspaper comic strip captivated readers of the Roaring Twenties and beyond. And Popeye, the sailor man, was the unlikely star of the show. Fantagraphics is thrilled to bring Segar's whimsical world back into print, reviving the origins of the beloved spinach-eating American icon for a whole new readership. The E.C. Segar Popeye Sundays series collects the complete Popeye Sunday stories in four gorgeous full-color volumes, each packaged in a deluxe die-cut vertical slipcase. Volume one (1931-1932) highlights Popeye's riotous romance with his sweet patootie, Olive Oyl. As apt to hold hands as butt heads, they are ultimately meant for each other, and their enduring connection forms the warm heart of the comic. Outside the love nest, Popeye seeks fame and fortune as a prizefighter. Ever the under-dog, he must contend with a series of increasingly fearsome opponents, from the formidable Johnny Brawn to a literal gorilla! Featuring tongue-twisting gags, sensational slugfests, and an endearing ensemble of characters, this revival of classic Popeye adventures really packs a punch and will captivate stalwart fans and new readers alike. Introduced with comic tributes by acclaimed cartoonists Sergio Ponchione and Cathy Malkasian.
