POPEYE VOL.3- THE SEA HAG & ALICE THE GOON
Εκδότης Fantagraphics , ISBN 9781683968849
Volume three centres around the epic Popeye adventure, 'Plunder
Island,' in which our endearing cast of characters takes to the high seas
in search of buried treasure - but must contend with the ruthless Sea
Hag and her strange sidekick, Alice the Goon. Steeped in shadow and
gothic imagery, this tale is an atmospheric and suspenseful departure
from the typical Popeye aesthetic - with a little screwball comedy
thrown in for good measure. Also in this volume, Popeye proves to be a
one-man wrecking crew on the gridiron, Wimpy tries his unsteady hand
at duck shooting (uh-oh!), and the crew ride out to the Wild West town
of Slither Creek on a rip-roaring gold-hunting expedition. Plus,
contemporary Filipino cartoonist Bong Redila pens a light-hearted
comic homage to the iconic, eerie duo headlining this volume.
An irresistible alchemy of slapstick humour, tender romance, and ragsto-
riches fantasy, Elsie Crisler Segar's newspaper comic strip, starring
Popeye the sailor man, captivated readers of the Roaring Twenties and
beyond. Fantagraphics is thrilled to bring Segar's whimsical world back
into print, collecting the complete Popeye Sunday stories in four
gorgeous full-colour volumes, each packaged in a die-cut slipcase.
