Popeye - Danger Ahoy!
Just finished reading "Popeye - Danger Ahoy!" written by Paul S. Newman, released by Whitman, published back in 1969 as the 34th entry in their Modern Big Little Book series.
"Popeye - Danger, Ahoy" was also sadly one of the last run of the Big Little Books in hardcover from the original publisher - though Whitman would publish a few original new Big Little Books in paperback up to the 1980s, along with releasing the paperback versions of the last hardcover Big Little Books.
Frequent readers of my reviews here on Facebook, Goodreads, and other social media websites, may recall that I was kicked out of the Big Little Book Club of America a few years for daring to read and review a "reading" copy of one of the modern age Big Little Books. I personally didn't see anything wrong with reading a Big Little Book that was in just fair condition.
After all, there is that silly little concept of actually enjoying what you collect, and I have hundreds of Big Little Books from the 1920s right up to the 1980s and the modern versions that appeared a few times up through the early 2000s that I have in mint, near mint, and very fine/fine condition.
Now I did find my reading copy unexpectedly in the shelves of Chamblin's Book Mine here in Jacksonville.
Hired by a movie producer to oversee the authenticity of a sailing ship adventure, Pappy invites his son Popeye, Olive Oyl, Sweet Pea, and WImpy along to the ship, which gets high-jacked by pirates who team up with the Sea Hag to rob cruise ships. Cast adrift Popeye and and his friends must find a way to stop the pirates.
Great classic fun in the tradition of Gold Key Comics.
Highly Recommended!
Five Stars!
