Popeye Poche

From 1985 to 1992, Éditions du Château published Popeye Poche, a 36-issue French comic series that brought the spinach-fueled sailor to a new audience in a digest-sized format. Primarily written and drawn by Italian creator Pierluigi Sangalli, the series offered a distinct European take on Popeye's classic adventures. It stands as a notable international expansion of the character's comic-book presence during the late 20th century, showcasing how a beloved American icon was adapted for the French market.
