Description
A fascinating, exhilarating portrait of the Beatles in their early years.
Meet the Beatles . . . right at the beginning of their careers.
This gorgeous, high-energy graphic novel is an intimate peek into the early
years of the world’s greatest rock band.
The heart of Baby’s In Black is a love story. The “fifth Beatle,”
Stuart Sutcliffe, falls in love with the beautiful Astrid Kirchherr when she
recruits the Beatles for a sensational (and famous) photography session during
their time in Hamburg. When the band returns to the UK, Sutcliffe quits, becomes
engaged to Kirchherr, and stays in Hamburg. A year later, his meteoric career as
a modern artist is cut short when he dies unexpectedly.
The book ends as it begins, with Astrid, alone and adrift; but with a
note of hope: her life is incomparably richer and more directed thanks to her
friendship with the Beatles and her love affair with Sutcliffe. This tender
story is rendered in lush, romantic black-and-white artwork.
Baby’s In Black is based on a true story.
