Popeye : Magazine for City Boys, No. 26, March 10, 1978

Tokyo: Heibon Shuppan Co., 1978. 130pp.; illus. Quarto; saddle-stapled in publisher's illustrated wraps. Some headings in English, else all text in Japanese. Small chip to lower fore-corner of rear cover; light toning and wear. Very good.

An early issue of this influential and long-running Japanese lifestyle magazine, founded in 1976 and still published today: a mix of pop culture and fashion aimed at urban young men—"city boys" as the magazine's subtitle would have it—and a treasure-trove of period advertising and design. This issue with features on BMX racing, synthesizers, and Super Metal action figures. Plus the usual mix of film, fashion, hobbies, books, gossip, interviews, and more.
