Popeye the Sailor

Bud Sagendorf, the longtime steward of the character, both wrote and drew this single-issue Gredown comic from 1978. It’s a brief but authentic slice of the classic Popeye humor, capturing the sailor’s trademark brawls and spinach-fueled antics. For fans of the original Thimble Theatre spirit, this issue stands as a neat, self-contained snapshot of Sagendorf’s decades-long, loving tenure with the character.
