'I want to personally thank everyone for the TREMENDOUS response to our Bud Sagendorf Popeye reprints. The many emails I've received from the fans and the high praise from the critics are so exciting! Sagendorf is getting his due and being compared to Carl Barks and John Stanley. And who doesn't love POPEYE?! Now this issue is one of my faves-I loved it when Bud took Popeye out west. Plus I love the extra feature pages Bud drew for this ish! You will, too! Thanks again Popeye fans!' -Craig Yoe
