A new, comic-book style book offers a new, creative
take on the history of The Beatles. Combining history with comics,
creator Herve Bourhis has fashioned a fascinatingly visual take on the
story of the Fab Four.
Released November 1st through Omnibus Press, The Beatles Graphic is a colorful, vibrant history of one of the world's best-known and most-loved rock bands.
Hervé Bourhis, a multi award-winning French artist and illustrator, who's worked on a number of noted works, including The Little Book of Rock
(Dargaud, 2007), tells the story of Liverpool's finest through a series
of panels depicting key events in the history of the Fab Four. He
literally draws each band member as a baby, and traces their story right
up to seeing Paul McCartney live in 2009 ("the first time I have seen a
live Beatle in person"). There's plenty of context provided too, though
owing to the highly illustrative nature of Bourhis's work, little
background knowledge of the band is required in order to enjoy the work;
a simple enjoyment of their music is enough.
