Toar

Toar is a prehistoric giant caveman who appears in E.C. Segar's Popeye universe, crossing paths with the spinach-eating sailor. Despite his enormous size and strength, the simple-minded Toar ultimately befriends Popeye rather than remaining his foe.

Born from the imagination of E. C. Segar himself, Toar made his entrance in 1937's Feature Book #2, a genuine Platinum Age artifact from one of comics' most beloved creative minds. This rare figure orbits the world of Popeye, sharing pages with the sailor man himself alongside Olive Oyl, Poopdeck Pappy, Swee'Pea, and Eugene the Jeep — as storied a cast of characters as any in American comics history. Toar's appearances are few and collectible, scattered across Popeye, Feature Book, and Popeye the Sailor over a publishing span that remarkably stretches all the way to 2014. For fans who love digging into the deeper corners of the Popeye universe, Toar is exactly the kind of discovery that makes collecting so rewarding.
