Welcome back to the world of Apple Bonkers, the Flying Glove, and Blue Meanies, where nothing is real… and where readers can test their knowledge of The Beatles while helping the Fab Four and Captain Fred save Pepperland! The Beatles Nerd Search: Yellow Submarine contains spectacular, colorful art, and challenges fans to find the very deliberate mistakes and continuity errors, as well as hidden song titles, mysteries from the Sea of Time, and more Blue Meanies than you can shake a drumstick at. It’s all in the mind, you know…
This volume has been created by comic book artist and writer Bill Morrison, author and illustrator of The Beatles Yellow Submarine authorized graphic novel.
This is no conventional 'search-and-find.' Each of its detailed, full-color pages is packed with out-of-context items and continuity errors.
Was John Lennon meeting Paul McCartney more significant than John Lennon meeting Yoko Ono? Rubber Soul or Revolver? Which Wings album was Paul McCartney’s solo pinnacle?
In 100 brief chapters, John M. Borack discusses and ranks the greatest moments in Beatles history. An avid Fab Four fan since childhood and a music journalist for more than thirty-five years, Borack has created a book to agree with and disagree with, and one that is sure to spark conversations. A love letter to the greatest rock band of all time, The Beatles 100 is a book for Beatles buffs and casual fans alike.
Comedy historian and official biographer of Fry & Laurie, Douglas Adams, Blackadder and I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, Jem Roberts has spent a decade researching the story of the Beatles’ adventures in comedy to create his magnum opus – FAB FOOLS.
It’s the full, detailed, hilarious story of how John, Paul, George and Ringo laughed their way to the toppermost of the poppermost – their classic films, cartoons and even pantomime, not to mention their experimentations with audio comedy through Sir George Martin’s Parlophone comedy classics series.
The epic history brings in every comedy legend of the 1960s and beyond: George Formby, Ken Dodd, Morecambe & Wise, Cook & Moore, the Goons, Monty Python, the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, the Simpsons, Peter Serafinowicz, Tenacious D, all the way to Richard Curtis and his recent film Yesterday.
And of course, no exploration of Beatles comedy would be complete without the first ever full print celebration of the Rutles – Dirk, Stig, Nasty and Barry. With full support and participation of Neil Innes and friends, FAB FOOLS documents Eric Idle and co’s creation of the most influential rock and roll spoof in history.
