Popeye meets his Pappy! Plus Swee�Pea and the Jeep! Remember last volume�s cliffhanger? The penultimate installment of this acclaimed reprinting of E.C. Segar�s masterpiece begins with �Popeye�s Ark: Part Two,� the tale of Popeye�s eventful reign over Spinachovia � a bleak island populated only by men and lacking all �femininity� � even as Olive Oyl controls the country of Olivia (not to mention the men of Spinachovia). Then in �War Clouds,� the two monarchies come tumbling down in a furious battle as Spinachovia is attacked by the tyrannical land-hungry King of Brutia, King Zlobbo! This volume�s star is Eugene the Jeep, the rare, friendly, leopard-spotted, and magically-endowed little creature. And Segar makes a great addition to the cast in �The Search for Popeye�s Poppa,� when the ever-cantankerous Poopdeck Pappy is tracked and finally, hilariously found; the title of the follow-up story, �Civilizing Poppa,� speaks for itself, as it tells the classic tale of man taming beast as Popeye guides a stubborn Pappy through table manners. And as in every volume, this year-and-a-half �s worth of full-color Sunday strips are as dazzlingly reproduced as ever. The adventures of Popeye, Olive, Wimpy, Swee�Pea and the gang on the top are complemented with the riotously funny bonus strip �Sappo,� including a somewhat self-referential storyline where the titular character becomes a cartoonist and teaches the craft to his friend, Professor Wotasnozzle. 168 pages of black-and-white and color comic strips.
