Popeye collection

A gruff sailor with a crooked way of speaking and forearms tattooed with an anchor, Popeye looks like no other hero on paper! Born in 1929 from the pen of Elzie Crisler Segar in the comic strip Thimble Theatre, the tough guy quickly stole the show from the whole cast to become an indestructible figure of American comics. Around his corncob pipe revolve the lanky Olive Oyl, the big brute Bluto, renamed Brutus in the French versions, who covets the fair lady, Wimpy the insatiable hamburger lover and little Swee'Pea, a baby found on his doorstep in 1933. Nearly a century later, his scrappy bluster has lost none of its bite. From the Fleischer Studios shorts to the albums collecting his strips, everything comes back to the same absurd fuel: that can of spinach that swells his biceps in an instant and turns the slightest brawl into a show of strength!
