Bud Sagendorf (w & a & c)
Is this a horror comic or a humor comic? Chills or chuckles?!
You'll have to decide when you read what its great cartoonist Bud
Sagendorf described as "a mysterious mystery entitled 'Ghost
Island!' An amphibious tale of phantoms and monsters of the
darkness—starring POPEYE!" But wait, there's more! Bud
introduces a second story by penning these words: "Thimble Theater
presents a heart-warming homespun tale of pugilistic love entitled
SMASH!" This arf-filled issue of vintage One-Eyed Sailor, Olive Oyl
and Swee'pee comics also includes the usual wonderful Sagendorf
one-pagers and a very special way-cool map of Popeye's
adventures!
