(W/A/CA) Marcus Williams

Popeye, arguably one of the most iconic characters in comic book history, makes his return to comic shops next summer. The century old comic strip and legendary cartoon character is reimagined for the modern age, in this brand new series by Marcus Williams (Marvel's Captain America). Popeye: Eye Lie Popeye reimagines the pop culture staple in a high-energy, manga-inspired monthly comic series that explores Popeye's past and finally reveals the century-long mystery of how he lost his eye! Was it an epic battle or some nautical accident? The truth finally comes out as an old enemy from the sea returns to face off against the Sailor Man. With the rich history of the character and this action-packed new take lifted from the pages of top-selling manga like One Piece and Dragon Ball, Eye Lie Popeye will appeal to both traditional comic fans and younger manga readers alike. Exclusive Original Material Rating: All-Ages

Reviews

Classic character Popeye gets a wild Manga style reimagining for a modern spin on a character that is almost a hundred years old! Being a fan of classic Popeye, I didn’t really care for this modernization. What I like about Popeye is its old-timeyness. So seeing Popeye in crazy manga style action was a bit jarring. So, though it was fun seeing all the characters again, I don’t know that I would continue reading this series. For diehard Popeye fans or manga lovers only.
