Popeye #7

A desert showdown sets the stage for issue #7 of IDW's Popeye, as our pipe-chomping sailor squares off in a sun-scorched wasteland against a hulking, gun-toting cowboy stranger — a bleached skull at their feet and a lone cactus marking the desolate terrain. Roger Langridge brings his sharp cartooning to both the story and cover, capturing Popeye in his trademark black shirt and sailor cap, fists ready, undaunted as ever by the odds against him. With a story titled "The Beast of Desolation Gulch or The Case of the Desert Yeti," this 2012 issue promises a wonderfully offbeat Wild West adventure that only Popeye could stumble into.
