Massive Publishing announced it has teamed with King Features for the Free Comic Book Day release of Eye Lie Popeye, an Anime-inspired take on the classic character.
In this brand-new series, the classic comic strip and cartoon character has been reimagined for the modern age by Writer/Artist Marcus Williams (Marvel’s Captain America). Eye Lie Popeye updates the pop-culture icon in a high-energy, manga-inspired take that channels the action of top-selling manga staples like One Piece and Dragon Ball. This new incarnation of the classic cast will appeal to both traditional comic fans and younger manga readers alike as it 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 himself.
Eye Lie Popeye gets a Free Comic Book Day release this weekend, ahead of the regular series release later this year.
