Comic Mint, your best source for rare, kooky, and classic animation art, is pleased to offer POPEYE fans this sensational hand-painted and hand-inked limited edition cel created by Myron Waldman, titled 'The Great Train Stoppery', which is placed against a lithograph background.

This beautiful limited edition black and white cel is taken from Popeye's first theatrical short "Popeye the Sailor", originally released in 1933. In this scene, Popeye saves the day by rescuing Olive with one powerful punch to the on-rushing train, turning it into a pile of scrap iron. The cel is hand signed by legendary animator, MYRON WALDMAN, with an image area measuring 12.5" x 10.5" inches.
The cel is accompanied with a certificate of authenticity.
