From the publisher's website:

Presented in a series of chapters which start with an article setting the background and then segue into comics re-enacting that part of their history, each chapter is done by a different artist but the whole is written by one biographer. At over 220 pages, the result is an all-inclusive look at the complete history of the band: how it started, its early days with changes of personnel, how it took off, became ‘Beatlemania,’ evolved into different music and themes in sync with as well as leading the restive sixties, and finally what went wrong that led to their breakup. You’d have to be an all-knowing Beatle fanatic to not find some information here you didn’t know about and for most people, the broad outlines of their history will be familiar but the juicy details presented here should prove fascinating. And, of course, The Beatles is probably one of the top phenomena of the 20th century. Not just in success but in reach and influence. The outrageous number of memorable songs, many of them hits, is mind-boggling. McCartney and Lennon were clearly outstandingly gifted musicians who knew how to turn little ditties into something for the ages. The genius is in their simplicity. It is truly amazing to see how generation upon generation continue to pick up on their songs and become fans like their parents and now, grandparents. One might say they truly have achieved eternal fame like the top classical music composers, but on an enduring mass scale. And here’s the book for all these generations who want to know more! Who want to get back into that era, understand the society they lived in, the pressures they underwent.

Price: $29.99.
