About the series
A French magazine-format series from Société Française de Presse Illustrée, Cap'tain présente Popeye ran for 26 issues from 1977 to 1979, offering a mix of new and reprinted adventures starring the spinach-loving sailor and his classic supporting cast—Olive, Mimosa, Timothée, Haggy, and Gontran. The title was most frequently written and illustrated by Bud Sagendorf (Popeye’s definitive post-Segar cartoonist) alongside contributions from Nicola Cuti, George Wildman, and Pierluigi Sangalli. It stands as a notable European effort to package Popeye’s enduring, rough-and-tumble humor for a French audience, bridging the character’s American comic-strip origins with continental publishing trends of the late 1970s.
