Popeye #35

July 1978

Popeye Magazine, Tokyo. Cover is wrapped in mylar; as a magazine, yellowing throughout. Some wear to edges. In remarkable shape.

Popeye magazine is a long running "men's interest" (The Magazine for City Boys) periodical based out of Japan renowned for it's sumptuous photo spreads and deep dives into topics as broad as Ivy Style, to proper hamburgers, to BMX racing, and so on. This very early issue, in incredible condition, is an absolute grail in their long history given it's focus on "Percussive New York City". Including pieces such as:

An amazing Studio 54 and discotheques of NY photo spread.

T shirts of roller rink crews

Sports in the City

Radio in NY

An overview of the art scene

The Village People

and MUCH more.

A high-water mark for a periodical that continues to put out astonishing work to this day. Utterly essential for true NY street freaks. You could start an entire lifestyle brand based on the photography and writing in here, no joke. A reference of the highest order. Highest recommendation.
