Indie Comics Spotlight: The Fifth Beatle

This Week, Tony is joined by Gail Ryder to talk about The Fifth Beatle. by Vivek J. Tiwary (Author), Andrew C. Robinson (Illustrator), Kyle Baker (Illustrator) THE FIFTH BEATLE is an award-winning, #1 New York Times best selling graphic novel and forthcoming TV event series recounting the untold true story of Brian Epstein– the brilliant visionary who discovered the Beatles in a cellar in Liverpool, nurtured, protected, and guided them to international stardom, but died painfully lonely at the age of 32. It’s a human story about the struggle to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds—Brian was homosexual when it was a felony to be so, Jewish at a time of anti-Semitism, and from Liverpool when it was just a dingy port town. It’s a story about staggering ambition yielding staggering success, through a desire to change the world by messages of love and peace. A story about being an outsider and trying desperately to belong. A story about speed, triumph, and tragedy. A story whose themes resonate deeply across generations, sexes, and sexual preferences. A story full of dreams and music… The greatest music of all time. Winner of the Will Eisner Comic Industry Award, Best Reality-Based Work Winner of two Harvey Awards, including Best Original Graphic Album Lambda Literary Award Finalist, Best LGBT Graphic Novel Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Library and Archives Permanent Collection American Library Services Association Great Graphic Novel for Teens Winner of National Cartoonist Society Reuben Award (Art by Andrew C.
