POPEYE SAILS INTO FAIRYLAND!
As Gert and Larry sail the oceans blue in search of a dastardly sea beast that may hold the key to Gert returning home, they find themselves outmatched and in need of help... from none other than Popeye the Sailor Man!
This very special issue not only features a guest star, but a guest artist as well, as cartoonist supreme Jay Fosgitt (Marvel Fairy Tales, Bodie Troll) joins Skottie and crew on the poop deck of the good ship IHF!
Popeye has only been in public domain for a few months now. It's only a very early version of the character who has been in public domain. But it's cool to see a couple of creators whose heart is generally in the right place as far as bringing the character a little bit more attention. He's one of them more iconic early comic strip characters. But he deserves a little bit better than what Fosgitt and Young are bringing to the pate in this particular issue. It's a fun idea. It would be a lot more fun if it was just a little bit more in a line with the character who had become popular on the comics page nearly a century ago. Read Full Review
