95 years after his debut, the mystery of how Popeye the Sailor Man lost his eye will be answered in the manga-inspired Eye Lie Popeye

Art from Eye Lie Popeye #1.

Elzie Crisler Segar's two-fisted, spinach-munching Popeye turned 95 earlier this year. While that's a ripe old age for any man, sailor or otherwise, the character is still going strong thanks to a dedicated fanbase. In fact, for the last year or so, writer/artist Marcus Williams has been working on a webcomic that presents a fresh new take on the character. Eye Lie Popeye is a manga-inspired series that delves into the backstory of just how Popeye lost one of his eyes. 

Now the series is getting a print edition from Massive Publishing. You can check out Williams' main cover for the first issue, plus variants by Kit Wallis, and Serg Acuna, in the gallery below.
