Big Little Book Lot: Popeye Collection ! This Auction Includes: LOT OF 2 BIG LITTLE BOOKS: POPEYE SEES THE SEA, BLB #1163 (1936) AND POPEYE IN QUEST OF HIS POOPDECK PAPPY, BLB #1450 (1937). Rare Original Golden-Age Big Little Books spotlighting the famous characters of the funny pages and comics and movies and cartoons. (BY SEGAR & KING FEATURES SYNDICATE, THESE FEATURE ALL THE CLASSIC CHARACTERS, INCLUDING SWEET PEA, OLIVE OYL, WIMPY, ET AL! NOT FOR THE EASILY OFFENDED, AS MANY BOOKS OF THIS ERA FEATURE ETHNIC STEREOTYPES INCLUDING RACIAL CARICATURES ALONG WITH SALACIOUS FEMALE RENDERINGS) . All are beautifully drawn, thick books, averaging 430 Pages. Presentable Conditions: Covers Are Attached, although Sees the Sea has some tape to the back spine area and is missing the final page of the story (and subsequent ads/blank pages) and the next to the last story page is detached, while the Poopdeck book has all its pages still securely attached. The covers have some splitting to the spine region and considerable general wear. Otherwise, they appear to be complete, and intact, great for the reader, or for filler copies until higher-grade examples can be obtained. We have included huge high-quality images, so you can see the fronts, backs, and spines, to make informed buying decisions. These are from the original 1930's heyday of these diminutive but thick collectable books. Great for any fan of the famous cult-classic staples of American pop culture.
