Popeye

From 2021 to 2024, Fantagraphics revived the iconic sailor for a four-issue series that blends classic Thimble Theatre newspaper strips by E. C. Segar with new stories by Bong Redila and Sergio Ponchione. This collection bridges generations of cartooning, pairing Segar's foundational, rough-hewn humor with contemporary artistic voices. It's a compact but essential showcase of how Popeye's world—full of spinach-fueled brawls and eccentric characters—remains a vital playground for sequential art.
