Who is Nana Oyl?

A Golden Age original with deep roots in one of comics' most beloved sailor-town families, Nana Oyl made her debut in Dell's Four Color #17 in 1943, brought to life by artist Bill Zaboly. She keeps wonderfully colorful company — sharing pages with Popeye, Olive Oyl, Wimpy, Rough-House, and Poopdeck Pappy across titles like Four Color and Popeye the Sailor. Though her catalog footprint is small, her appearances span an impressive nearly four decades, and one of those issues carries key-issue status for collectors. A rare find for anyone digging deep into the rich, spinach-scented corners of Dell's Popeye universe.
