Popeye Annual

Published by Brown Watson from 1972 to 1976, this two-issue Popeye Annual is a British comics treasury featuring the iconic sailor in oversized, all-ages adventures. Bud Sagendorf, the longtime steward of the character, both wrote and illustrated these annuals, bringing his classic, energetic style to the pages. While a brief run, it represents a key moment in Popeye’s international publishing history, offering a charming snapshot of the character’s enduring appeal in the early 1970s.
