Popeye Volume 3: The Sea Hag & Alice the Goon by E.C. Segar Paperback Book

Description: Popeye Volume 3 by E.C. Segar, Bong Redila In the third volume of the E.C. Segar Popeye Sundays, Popeye and company embark on a gothic adventure on the high seas! FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Volume three centers 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 lighthearted comic homage to the iconic, eerie duo headlining this volume. An irresistible alchemy of slapstick humor, tender romance, and rags-to-riches fantasy, Elsie Crisler Segars newspaper comic strip, starring Popeye the sailor man, captivated readers of the Roaring Twenties and beyond. Fantagraphics is thrilled to bring Segars whimsical world back into print, collecting the complete Popeye Sunday stories in four gorgeous full-color volumes, each packaged in a die-cut slipcase. Author Biography E.C. Segar (1894-1938), creator of Popeye, is a member of the Will Eisner Awards Hall of Fame. He was born in Chester, IL in 1894 and passed away in his longtime home of Santa Monica, CA. The National Cartoonists Society created the Elzie Segar Award in his honor, which was awarded annually to a cartoonist who has made a unique and outstanding contribution to the profession. Bong Redila is a Filipino American illustrator and author based in Miami, Florida. A self-taught artist, Redila started his illustration career in the early 90s in Guam, USA, as an editorial cartoonist for a local newspaper. In the early 2000s, he started writing and illustrating short stories set in Meläg, a fictional little town where phantasmagoric and peculiar events perpetually take place. It was then collected and published in the Philippines by Anino Comics/Adarna House and received numerous accolades including the 2017 National Book Awards for Graphic Literature, the 2017 Komikon Best Graphic Novel, and the National Childrens Book Awards, Best Reads for Kids. Review The Plunder Island saga remains my personal favorite Thimble Theatre/Popeye story of all time, and to have it presented in its entirety along with other work from Segars prime creative period is reason enough to be happy to be alive. Pure comics joy awaits you here, my friends.-- "Four Color Apocalypse" Details ISBN1683968840 Author Bong Redila Pages 128 Publisher Fantagraphics Series The E. C.
