[Added] Popeye Books Missing

There are a few Popeye collection books I own that need to be added to the core.

First, the book Popeye: The First Fifty Years is actually in the core, but named “Popeye: Great Comic Book Tales TP”. See image from the core, below. It is copyright 1979 by Workman Publishing Company.

Second, there are four Popeye collections published by Grosset & Dunlap under the Tempo Books imprint. The series title is “Thimble Theatre, Starring Popeye”. The first volume just has the title, and volumes 2 - 4 have a subtitle “Volume Two”, etc. Covers below.

Third, there are at least two Popeye collections published by Tom Doherty Associates called “Popeye The Sailor” and “Popeye and the Royal Rat”. Imprint is “A Pinnacle Book”. Covers below.

Fourth and final: I noticed while browsing my titles that the Charlton Popeye comic books show Dell as the publisher rather than Charlton.

Corrected the title into ‘Popeye: Great Comic Book Tales TP’.
Searched the barcodes gives date 2018 so I left that alone.

Added the series ‘Thimble Theatre, Starring Popeye’.

Added to Core.

Fourth and final: I noticed while browsing my titles that the Charlton Popeye comic books show Dell as the publisher rather than Charlton.

this ongoing series with various publishers is listed in Core as ‘Popeye, Vol. 1’.
Dell is the publisher that started this ongoing series.

Thank you @CLZ_Rowdy !

Regarding the book, I may have worded my request poorly. I was saying there’s a title already in the core named ‘ Popeye: Great Comic Book Tales TP’, but it shows the cover of a 1979 book called ‘ Popeye: The First Fifty Years’. I own the 1979 book and it’s not listed in the core. That’s what I was requesting be added if possible. Thanks!!

@CLZ_Rowdy , got a few more details on the Popeye books that might bring clarity. There are two separate books:

  • Popeye: Great Comic Book Tales TP - printed in 2018 by IDW. Cover below which I found online (I don’t own this). This entry is in the core, but the cover shown is for the next book.
  • Popeye: The First 50 Years - hardback book printed in 1979 by King Features Syndicate and Workman Publishing Company. Indicia of this book can be seen below.

Cover and Indicia for Popeye: The First Fifty Years

So only the cover for ‘Popeye: Great Comic Book Tales TP’ was incorrect?
I corrected the cover, thank you for reporting.

Added the entry ‘Popeye: The First Fifty Years’.
Used King Features Inc. and Workman Publishing Inc. as an - abbreviated - publishers name.

Thank you @CLZ_Rowdy !
