Classic Popeye #48
In "Strong Man!", the Professor takes a wild turn when he experiments with a gas that lifts him into the sky—only to become the target of a startled Sappo, who mistakes him for a flying menace. A classic blend of slapstick and surreal humor, this 2016 IDW release by Bud Sagendorf showcases the legendary cartoonist’s full creative hand, with writing, art, inking, and lettering all by his own hand. The cover, also by Sagendorf, captures the chaos in bold, dynamic lines.
