Synopsis

The penultimate instalment 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 attached by the tyrannical land-hungry king of Brutia, King Zlobbo!

About this title

Review:

The perfect comic strip.--Charles M. Schulz

One of the great geniuses of the comic strip form, E.C. Segar created work that represents some of America's finest art in its epic scale, colloquial language, daffy humor and themes of romance and commerce... Not to be missed.
