Popeye -- The 60th Anniversary Collection

Hawk Books celebrated the spinach-chomping sailor's diamond anniversary with this single 1989 volume, collecting E. C. Segar's classic Thimble Theatre newspaper strips. Featuring the creator's own writing and artwork, this collection preserves the original, pre-fame Popeye—a scrappy, one-eyed brawler far removed from his later cartoon persona. It's a vital archival document for fans wanting to experience Segar's raw, gag-driven storytelling at its source.
