Popeye, Vol. 178, published in July 1984, captures the vibrant essence of summer through its issue titled “Summer Boy ’84.” In this edition, Popeye—the iconic “Magazine for City Boys”—celebrates the season’s sense of freedom, exploring the intersection of travel, leisure, and youthful fashion as expressions of individuality and optimism. Blending style, humor, and a spirit of discovery, the magazine reflects Japan’s fascination with Western lifestyles while translating them into a distinctly urban, Japanese sensibility. With its lighthearted tone and focus on movement and spontaneity, this issue stands as a vivid portrait of 1980s youth culture embracing the open road and the promise of endless summer days.
