Eye Lie Popeye in Massive/Whatnot's May 2024 Solicits

We have one more year of Popeye not being in public domain. Which is why Massive/WhatNot is running ahead with a licensed Popeye comic.

We have one more year of Popeye not being in public domain. Which is why Massive/WhatNot/Sumerian is running ahead with a licensed Popeye comic while they still get to have the exclusivity. But also why they appear to be getting a little more leeway with how they portray him. With Eye Lie Popeye by Marcus Williams launching for Free Comic Book Day in May, it will be  followed up with a new manga-style series.

Popeye, arguably one of the most iconic characters in comic book history, makes his return to comic shops this May. The century old comic strip and legendary cartoon character is reimagined for the modern age, in this brand new series by Marcus Williams (Marvel's Captain America). Popeye: Eye Lie Popeye reimagines the pop culture staple in a high-energy, manga-inspired monthly comic series that explores Popeye's past and finally reveals the century-long mystery of how he lost his eye! Was it an epic battle or some nautical accident? The truth finally comes out as an old enemy from the sea returns to face off against the legendary Sailor Man. With the rich history of the character and this action-packed new take lifted from the pages of top-selling manga like One Piece and Dragon Ball, Eye Lie Popeye will appeal to both traditional comic fans and younger manga readers alike.
