Popeyeâ€™s most legendaryâ€•and epicâ€•adventure highlights this volume of our acclaimed series, pitting the intrepid sailor man against the malevolent Sea Hag and her terrifying, grotesque sidekick the Goon, aided (or hindered) by Wimpy.
With this fourth volume of our beloved series, Segarâ€™s Popeye reaches one of its highest peaks in â€œPlunder Island,â€ the glorious, epic-length Sunday-continuity adventure that ran for eight months and pitted the intrepid sailor man against the malevolent Sea Hag and her terrifying, grotesque sidekick the Goon â€• helped, and sometimes hindered by, the easily corruptible J. Wellington Wimpy. â€œPlunder Islandâ€ is presented here for the first time in its complete, full-color, uncut glory!

Meanwhile, in the â€œdailiesâ€ section of Popeye Volume 4, Popeye visits â€œPoodleburgâ€ and gets involved in a quest for both â€œRomance and Riches.â€ Other stories include â€œUnifruitâ€ (featuring the return of King Blozo), the western epic â€œBlack Valleyâ€ (with the unforgettable sight of Popeye in drag), â€œThe Pool of Youthâ€ (featuring the return of the Sea Hag... and her sister!); and the beginning of the extended six-month-long yarn â€œPopeyeâ€™s Arkâ€!

Comics historian Richard Marschall rounds off this volume with a long article on Segarâ€™s storytelling skills and narrative strategies, focusing in particular on the â€œPlunder Islandâ€ sequence. Rediscover an American treasure in this handsomely designed series to be enjoyed by comic fans of all ages. 84 pages of color comics; 84 pages of black-and-white comics
