“The Fifth Beatle gives life to the man behind the phenomenon that changed music forever. Even if you’ve never heard Brian Epstein’s name, you know his work. Vivek’s telling of this untold hero’s story gripped me from the very first page– this heart-warming, inspirational graphic novel is perfect for old and new Beatles fans alike.”—Jon Chu (Wicked, In The Heights, Crazy Rich Asians)
“The Beatles’ immortality, as documented in this meticulously researched, masterfully written and gorgeously illustrated graphic novel, is Epstein’s legacy, as are the boundless torrents of love, hope and optimism shared through their songs.”—Long Island Press
“. . . writer Vivek J. Tiwary, and artists Andrew Robinson and Kyle Baker, captured the soaring thrill of
music with comic book art in their Brian Epstein epic The Fifth Beatle. It’s a must-have for any Fab Four or comics fan that brings an era of music history to life so vividly.”—Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy)
“The Fifth Beatle, with its heightened graphic artistry, brings to life Brian Epstein’s singular contribution not just to the Beatles, but to pop culture as a whole. Whether you’re new to the story or know it like I do, this intimate portrait of a man as lonely as he was beloved, perfectly captures what it means to believe in something big. Look out for a great cameo appearance by Col. Tom Parker!”
—Baz Luhrmann (Elvis, Moulin Rouge!)
