The Story

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!'

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!
