Popeye

From 1989 to 1991, Editorial New Comic revived the spinach-fueled sailor in a five-issue series that brought Popeye’s classic, pugnacious charm to a new generation of Spanish readers. Drawn with lively, expressive art by a team of local talent, this short run captured the character’s signature blend of slapstick humor and heart—featuring Olive Oyl, Bluto, and the rest of the beloved cast. While brief, the series stands as a notable international take on the iconic Thimble Theatre star, showcasing his enduring appeal beyond American comics. It’s a compact but spirited addition to Popeye’s global legacy.
