The one and only Magazine for City Boys, in this issue Popeye ポパイ invites itself into the (particularly bloody gorgeous) homes of 'City Boys' around the world. Think Berlin, Stockholm, London, Taipei and more.
In this aesthetically-pleasing issue, Popeye says: 'Hello, New Season!'
According to the editors:
‘Popeye magazine is the “Magazine for City Boys”. The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What’s a “city boy”? The term doesn’t appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this “city boy” might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read Popeye magazine.’
