About the series

In the early 1970s, Israeli publisher Mizrahi (Mizrachi) brought the iconic sailor man to local newsstands with a 67-issue run simply titled פופי (Popeye). This series adapted the classic comic-strip character for a Hebrew-speaking audience, blending the familiar spinach-fueled adventures with a distinct Israeli printing style. While specific creators are not widely credited in the surviving records, the series stands as a notable example of how global comics were localized for the Israeli market during that era. Its 67-issue lifespan reflects a sustained local appetite for Popeye's rough-and-tumble humor and simple moral lessons.
