See all formats and editions

When we say "complete," we mean COMPLETE! Bobby London's take on the SailorMan has often been overshadowed by his being fired from the strip in 1992,ostensibly for presenting a storyline that was an allegory about abortion.

Inthat ultimate tale, Olive had become addicted to the Home Shopping Network andordered a Baby Brutus mechanical doll.

When Popeye insists that she get rid ofthe "baby," two priests mistakenly believe that the baby is real and that Oliveis going to exercise her pro-choice rights.

King Features Syndicate pulled thefinal three weeks of strips and daily newspapers began running reprints.

Storyover in mid-stream. Now, twenty-two years later, thanks to the kind cooperation of the goodfolks at King Features, those three weeks will be included in this second volumeof the IDW series.

But wait...that's not all! Turns out that Bobby Londonproduced an additional six weeks of strips beyond the three that were pulledfrom syndication!

This book contains - for the first time anywhere -all nine weeks of "censored" Bobby London Popeye strips.

Trust us, it's worththe wait!
