Popeye #3

Popeye's fists are flying in the boxing ring on this lively 2012 IDW cover by Tom Neely, where the one-eyed sailor stands triumphant over a fallen opponent while a rotund figure looks on from the corner and a packed crowd watches the action ringside. It's a wonderfully energetic composition that captures Popeye's scrappy spirit perfectly, with those trademark bulging forearms and corncob pipe front and center. Writer Roger Langridge and all-around artist Tom Neely bring "The Phantom Crusher" to life in what looks to be a thoroughly entertaining bout.
