Popeye (Magazine)

A French magazine-format revival of the classic spinach-chomping sailor, Popeye ran for 21 issues from 1980 to 1982 under publisher Société Française de Presse Illustrée. The series is most closely associated with Bud Sagendorf, the longtime artist who carried on E.C. Segar's legacy with his warm, cartoonish style. For French readers, this brief but fondly remembered run offered a fresh dose of Sagendorf's signature humor and slapstick, keeping the character's timeless appeal alive in a new market.
