EYE LIE POPEYE #1

(A/CVR A) Marcus Williams
Popeye, arguably one of the most iconic characters in comic book history, returns to comic shops this May. 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 legendary 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 be a highly sought-after title this August.
Eye Lie Popeye #1 arrives in August 2024.
