Popeye: Let's You and Him Fight!
Stories in this volume include "The Eighth Sea," a nautical thriller-diller starring, in his only appearance in the actual Segar Popeye strip, Bluto (plus the shape-shifting detective Merlock Jones); "Long Live the King" and "Popeye King of Popilania"; "Star Reporter," in which Popeye juggles his career as a newspaperman and a recent adoptive Dad to the one and only Swee'pea. Plus over a year's worth of great full color Sunday strips, many of them focusing on everyone's favorite glutton Wimpy!
This volume also contains the conclusion of Donald Phelps's incisive and articulate critical essay on Segar's work "Real People, Real Theatre."
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, rivaling the great film comics of his era, such as Charlie Chaplin and the Marx Brothers. Discover this American treasure in this handsomely designed series perfect for all ages.

There are two perfect comics: E. C. Segar's Popeye Tove Jansson's Moomin. Everything else exists in their shadow

@peterhartlaub First saw it as an already Popeye-fanatic kindergartner and while it's not for everybody, I've got an even greater admiration for it now that I've seen more of Altman's films, know more about Robin Williams, and have read all of EC Segar's Popeye comics.
Praise for this book
