Comics historian Craig Yoe collects and beautifully packages the best of the best of Sagendorf’s thrilling and roll-on-the-floor laughing tales. See the Sea Hag, Bluto, and, of course, Olive Oyl, Wimpy, and Sweepea join Popeye in exciting adventures—and brilliant comic book stories. Sagendorf penned these tales with love and skill—even adding some of his own unique characters.
