What do I look like, the president of Sunday Press? They haven't given many deets yet afaict. I'm guessing a best-of, which I'm fine with since I never thought this stuff would be reprinted at all. Here's the solicitation copy, since I'm apparently also chief websearch officer over at Google:

More than a decade before creating the world's most famous cartoon sailor, E. C. Segar drew the Charlie Chaplin comic strip, a daily strip about Chicago entertainment, and then Thimble Theatre, where Popeye was to be born. This volume features examples of all of Segar's early comics and over 100 pre-Popeye Thimble Theatre Sunday pages, including the complete run of the famed Western desert saga, a series that rivals his later work in art, storytelling and humor. These comics, most of which have never been reprinted before, are here for the whole popeyed world to see.

I do the layouts, you do the inking and coloring and publishing and distributing and promoting and customer servicing. This is how it works.
