Boys' and Girls' March of Comics #264
In "Apple a Day!", Popeye finds himself tied to a bomb with a ticking fuse, facing four diverging paths—one leading to a full can of spinach that could save him, the others to empty cans that mean disaster. Written and illustrated by Bud Sagendorf, this interactive adventure from 1964 puts readers in the captain’s shoes, guiding Popeye through the maze with careful choices. The cover by Bud Sagendorf captures the suspense perfectly, a free comic from Western Publishing that’s as clever as it is classic.
