Even for a jaded fan like myself, I found Spitz' tome very accessible, very readable, and peppered with enough new revelations to make it worth the trip, most notably in the group's formative years. If you've never read a biography of the Fabs, this is a good one to start with.

Later published in trade paperback by St. Martin's Press as "The Ultimate Beatles Quiz Book." This is the true first edition, published under the author's preferred title by a small press in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A little dated, but still the benchmark for those who want to challenge their knowledge of all things Fab.

Back before Mike Allred sold his soul to Marvel, he doted lovingly on a character he created called Madman. Team-ups are usually lame affairs, with plot lines as thin as the paper they're printed on, but this one works because Allred cares: the story is great fun, the art first rate. Madman's big showdown with Mr. Mxyzptlk - playing Twister - is inspired silliness.

Griffin and Sabine take a back seat in Bantock's second trilogy of love and letters. The correspondence between our protagonists, archaeologist Matthew Sedon and his strong-willed girlfriend Isabella de Reims failed to engage me emotionally. One cannot fault his artwork though. If anything, his distinctive style of collaging is even better. These are beautiful books to navigate. Approach with lowered expectations.
