Publisher's Synopsis

This final volume starts off in grand style with 'Mystery Melody', featuring the terrifying return of the shapeshifting Sea Hag. Olive Oyl, Wimpy, Poopdeck Pappy, the Jeep, the newly domesticated Goon and Toar all appear in this four-month epic - as does Bolo, the last in Segar's cast of massive Popeye opponents. Supplementary features include two historical articles by Popeye expert Rick Marschall, an illustrated Segar-written biography of Popeye originally serialised in newspapers at the time - and more rare art and exclusive photos.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
