When Wimpy—of all people—devours a desert spinach plant and unexpectedly rises to the occasion, Popeye finds himself sidelined in the showdown. A classic tale of unexpected heroism, drawn with the unmistakable flair of Bud Sagendorf, whose full creative hand is on every page, from story to inks to letters, and whose iconic cover captures the desert’s eerie allure.
