Popeye is one of the most iconic comic strip characters ever created, and to celebrate the spinach-loving sailor, Clover Press and Yoe! Books have partnered for the publication of Popeye Variations: Not Yer Pappy's Comics an' Art Book. A hardcover art book featuring more than 100 illustrations from 75 artists, Popeye Variations is now on Kickstarter, and we have an exclusive look at some of the horror-themed artwork from the book!
Below, you can check out our exclusive look at some of the artwork featured in Popeye Variations, and here's what artist Dave Calver had to say about his zombie-themed Popeye piece:
"I’m not generally drawn to zombies, vampires, etc. Seems like they’ve been done to…well,…death. But good ole Popeye kicking some zombie Bluto butt??? Seemed like a no-brainer!"
We have the official press release with additional details, and to learn more and support Popeye Variations, visit its official Kickstarter page!

The writer behind one of Image Comics’ most critically acclaimed titles in years — Ice Cream Man — is launching a new anthology for the publisher in early 2021, Image announced Thursday.
W. Maxwell Prince will write each issue of Haha, a new series with an unexpected recurring theme — professional clowns — with different artists lined up to illustrate individual issues, including Vanesa R. Del Rey (Redlands), Gabriel Walta (The Vision), and Roger Langridge (Fred the Clown). Unlike Ice Cream Man, stories in Haha will not stay firmly inside the horror genre, according to the publisher.

Official Synopsis:
The legend of Captain America begins here when Steve Rogers survives a WWII experiment to become a Super-Soldier and the Sentinel of Liberty! He’ll face off against Hydra, P.R.O.D.O.K., the Rhino, A.I.M., and even an army of genetically recreated cavemen. Shield-slinging adventures lead to Avengers team-ups with Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Black Widow, Iron Man and more!
My Thoughts:
Released as part of Idw and Marvel’s collaboration, Marvel Vault of Heroes: Captain America collects Marvel Adventures Super Heroes Vol. 1 #8 and #12, and Marvel Adventures Super Heroes Vol. 2 #3, #5, #15, #16, and #21 – all essentially kid-friendly tales that tell key stories in Captain America’s evolution, from his origins to his team-up with other...

As part of our campaign to highlight our ongoing battle against Dr. Seuss Enterprises (and we hope you can help us out) we’re highlighting examples of art that wouldn’t exist without fair use.
Here’s one from Roger Langridge, well known for his work on Snarked!, The Muppet Show, Mugwhump the Great, Popeye, and Doctor Who, doing his own version of P.G. Wodehouse’s Jeeves stories.
According to Roger:
The rights issues are a bit confusing: this particular story is in public domain in the USA, but (apparently) not in the UK, so I’m not sure if a book is even a possibility. Nevertheless, I’ve adapted it as a comic (originally published in 1916 in the Saturday Evening Post under the title “Leave It to Jeeves“) to show what I could do with it if given the opportunity.

So you want to learn more about Asgard after Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Endgame? We've got a Thor comics reading guide for you!
Thor has always been one of the biggest, boldest, brashest, sweepingly epic comics that Marvel publishes. For decades the exploits of Thor and the gods of Asgard were positively unfilmable. Which is why it's so hard to believe we now live in a world where there are three Thor movies, which doesn't even take into account his star turn in Avengers: Endgame and the other films in the franchise.
Creative team after creative team tried to top one another and create the grandest, the most mythic, and the most epic Thor stories possible. And since the character debuted in 1962, Thor has attracted some of the most finest and groundbreaking creators in comics.
So if you're a movie fan and you're looking for a place to start with the comics,...
