There are certain comic books that make you proud to be a fan. Often times, they are the books you can hand to somebody and say, with confidence, “This is a masterpiece, a true work of art.” They are the comics that inspire us; they affect us in a big way. Maybe we see something of ourselves in them, maybe they tickle our imagination or maybe they challenge us. The Fifth Beatle is one of these books. It's a brilliant comic, in every aspect, from script to art to lettering to production; it is beautiful.
The Fifth Beatle is the story of Brian Epstein's time with The Beatles. Epstein's role in the success and popularity of the fab four cannot be overstated. He turned them into international superstars, believed in them when no one else did. He essentially created one of the most important music groups in history, and he did it all before he died at the young age of thirty-two. The Fifth Beatle is Brian's story, showing his unwavering ambition and heartbreaking loneliness. It's about never belonging and the sickness that comes when you can never be yourself. It's a moving and painful tale that will absolutely captivate you.
