Popeye

In the early 1980s, Swedish publisher Semic Press brought the iconic, spinach-fueled sailor to European newsstands with this 22-issue series. Written and drawn by a rotating team of local talents, the comic offered a fresh, playful take on Popeye’s classic misadventures, staying true to the character’s pugnacious charm and surreal humor. Though a licensed title, it stands as a distinct, spirited chapter in the character’s long publication history, showcasing how international publishers adapted the beloved cartoon for a new audience.
