An engaging and visually captivating journey through the iconic rise and evolution of the Beatles, this volume skillfully weaves text and comics to tell the band's story from formation to their lasting impact on pop music. Packed with information and presented in a fun and lively manner, it offers a comprehensive glimpse into the Beatlemania phenomenon and their influence on the tumultuous sixties.

'The Beatles in Comics' by Michels Mabel and Gaet's is a history of the supergroup in essay and comic form.

From the founding of The Quarrymen and the early band members to the final breakup of the band and beyond, the history of band is told. Along the way, lots of lesser known facts are featured. A favorite chapter was about Astrid Kirchherr, the early photographer of the young band in Hamburg.

There are a series of essays followed by short comics. The short comics repeat the essay. I would have preferred one or the other, but not both. The art is by different artists and some is better than others. It was still a fun read and a great way to learn about (or in my case, revisit) this great band.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from NBM Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

As the huge The Beatles fun, this was a total must-have thing! And I was glad I had a chance to read it. I can't say I loved it, but it was at least really interesting, look at the history of one of the most famous bands in the form of a comic book story. The introduction was amazing! I enjoyed it, it was fun and the way it was drown was totally suitable. Some illustrations were hilarious. I really recommend to every fan of The Beatles out there!

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC, in exchange for an honest review... First, this book is worth just for the photos alone, the artwork in addition to that is just damn amazing. There is literally no such thing as too much Beatles, it was fun to rehash the facts I knew and learned a couple of new things as well... I truly enjoyed it, especially the tickets at the end, classic and fun. It truly makes me wish that i’d been alive for it! Incredibly fun read.

This was just an OK read for me. The story of The Beatles is told in a comic form but I found the the artwork and the story line to be uneven. I was not a fan of the hybrid of regular writing and photographs that appeared before the comic portion. There was a lot of repetition. The book will make a good starting point for anyone wanting to know more about the Beatles in a easy to read format.

I am IN LOVE with this! I am already a huge Beatles fan so this little graphic novel made my heart so happy. The illustrations were beautiful and it really helped me visualize the Beatles in their prime and made me just appreciate them more. I also listened to the "Yellow Submarine" record while listening to this. Perfect combination.

This was a very fun read. I enjoyed the Beatles depicted in a graphic novel. Thank you net galley for the opportunity to read this.

I was not impressed with this book. There is so much source material available yet this is very watered-down. There are better quality "comic books" on more complicated subjects. I also thought switching to different artists was jarring and unnecessary.

I like this title in principle. If you don't know much about the Beatles history and origin, you will find a lot in here of interest to you. Personally, I feel this book suffers from too much repetition of the same historical events and incidents in the life of the Beatles being talked about throughout this book. With this corrected, it will be a much better read.

I really enjoyed this! Some of the art style was more to my taste than others and some of the stories were told in a very overly positive light but it was an informative read and filled with love.

This was an absolute joy to both read and look at. The creativity, information, drawings & Beatles knowledge was extraordinary. I specifically took my time with this ARC because there was so much to appreciate on every page. A must own for any Beatles fan or any comic enthusiast.

I will be buying this book for myself and to gift to others.
Thank you to NetGalley and Publisher for allowing me the opportunity to review this comic.

It was fun to read. Definitely a perfect read for Beatles fans. I wish i could read the whole book but preview was great too.

This is a comic book that is a nonfictional account of the Beatles forming and rising to fame. It begins with how John, Paul, and George meet and, along with some other friends, begin the Beatles. It shows how they develop as a band, their popularity (Beatlemania), and ends with their Shea Stadium concert.

Some good points about this book are how it sticks to nonfiction and does it in a linear way in a graphic novel format. I think that is an interesting way to get that information across to younger audiences. However, I found many distracting qualities in this book that prevented me from really liking or enjoying it.

This graphic novel is an apparent collaboration of various authors and perhaps various writers. At some points it reads just like a memoir with actual photographs and then goes off into illustrations recreating events or. conversations. Sometimes the story will leave off on one point, only to have it picked up and reiterated on the next page, which made it feel that it lacked editing. Also, I found it distracting to have several illustrators with different style thoroughly the book. Sometimes you can’t quite recognize the characters of the Beatles. My last complaint was that the book ended very abruptly without a conclusion, after the concert at Shea Stadium. I thought that the book would cover the Beatles up until they brok up. At the very least the cover would imply that it would cover through the creation and release of the Abbey Road album. Perhaps there is a sequel? It wasn’t clear to me. I am a big fan of the Beatles and have read books about the band in the past so I was going into this book intrigued by the idea of a Beatles comic book, but I was disappointed.

Thank you Netgalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest opinion.

Thanks to NBM Publishing for the ARC!

Wow, absolutely beautiful.
A must read to all The Beatles fans. Love it!

The Beatles in Comics! By author Michels Mabel is a fun and informative comic that takes you through the journey of the legends, The Beatles!
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of The Beatles in Comics in exchange for an honest review.

I strongly believe that almost 80% or more of the population of the whole world is aware of who The Beatles are. I'm not really an avid fan but I admire them for standing up to what they believe is right, notably on how they strongly disagree with England support the Vietnam War. Paul McCartney is my favorite member among this Fab Four because he advocates the animal welfare and wildlife preservation. One of the remarkable things he has done is how he firmly opposed vivisection and he uses his status to set awareness about this kind of issues.

The Beatles is not just merely a rock band or a legend, but their songs are powerful and are quite meaningful. Some of their songs are not only about their experiences but several of them were about war, animal rights, capitalism, oppression, and religion, just to name a few. I remember that a former colleague told me to try listening to some songs of this legendary music group but I never listened to him. Several years later, I've listen intently to some of their songs and I was impressed on the meaning behind them.

When I saw this graphic novel about The Beatles, I'm quite excited to read about their humble beginning and to read about who are behind their success. Either your a fan or not, this printed graphic representation of the memoir of the group will entertain and amazed all readers. And that this is definitely a must-buy for those who collect any material related to The Beatles.

If you're familiar with the Beatles' history you won't learn anything new here - this is basically for beginners only. Also, the structure is very poor - there's a page or two of text before each chapter which summarises the following comics; why even have that there? It makes for repetitious reading. Didn't care for the unremarkable art either. Weak sauce all round.

This is a very unique presentation of the history of The Beatles. The advanced copy I received was only the first 100 pages, yet it was compelling and well done. We get lots of detailed history of the Beatles in images and text.

I'm a longtime Beatles' fan so there wasn't much new information for me in this book but it sure was fun reading it. It's a nice combination of pictures and text, well put together for maximum interest. The addition of the comic drawings is fun (even though the drawings look very little like John, Paul, George, or Ringo!)

This book would make a great gift for any Beatles' fan!

Fun to read and entertaining. It would perfect in the hardcover format.
Lovely drawings and good introduction to the different chapters in the Beatles story.
I would love to read the entire book as the ARC stops at the Shea Stadium.
A must have for Beatles fans.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC
