Description
E. C. Segar Popeye Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 9-5-32 (King Features Syndicate, 1932). Popeye was originally conceived as a walk-on character in E. C. Segar's Thimble Theater, a popular strip that had been running since 1919. Within a year of Popeye's first appearance, he had become the star of the strip, which was soon after renamed Thimble Theater Starring Popeye. The strip offered here, a dark, moody example, with a pleasing sense of implied menace, is from relatively early in Popeye's career, the fourth month of the "Eighth Sea" continuity. It features both Popeye and Olive Oyl (Castor's spindly sister), as well as Merlock Jones. This superb strip was also reproduced in Brian Walker's book The Comics Before 1945. This episode has an image area of 20.5" x 4.5" and it has been matted to an overall size of 25.5" x 9.75". The art is in Excellent condition.More information about E. C. Segar. See also: Segar, E.
