Wednesday, March 5, The Comic Bug will be experiencing BEATLEMANIA with Andrew Robinson! THE FIFTH BEATLE: THE BRIAN EPSTEIN STORY is a graphic novel by Vivek Tiwary, Andrew C Robinson and Kyle Baker.
The Fifth Beatle is the untold true story of Brian Epstein, the visionary manager who discovered and guided the Beatles – from their gigs in a tiny cellar in Liverpool to unprecedented international stardom. Yet more than merely the story of “The Man Who Made the Beatles,” The Fifth Beatle is an uplifting, tragic, and ultimately inspirational human story about the struggle to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. Brian himself died painfully lonely at the young age of thirty-two, having helped the Beatles prove through “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” that pop music could be an inspirational art form. He was homosexual when it was a felony to be so in the United Kingdom, Jewish at a time of anti-Semitism, and from Liverpool when it was considered just a dingy port town.
Come meet artist ANDREW ROBINSON from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. He’ll have graphic novels and gorgeous art prints available to dazzle your eyes!
