Praise for The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story:
"Abounds with emotional moments . . . Filled with vibrant images." —The New York Times
"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…this intimate portrait of a man as lonely as he was beloved, perfectly captures what it means to believe in something big."—Baz Luhrman (Elvis, Moulin Rouge!)
"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 is my favorite kind of true story—an ordinary person who changes the world while inspiring others. Brian Epstein…discovered, managed, and steered the Beatles from a basement club in Liverpool to worldwide superstardom and influence, all while overcoming personal, political, and societal obstacles. It's a story for anyone who needs to be reminded of the power that comes with dreaming big dreams."—Brad Meltzer (Ordinary People Change the World series, Identity Crisis)
"A wonderfully eccentric telling of one of the great unsung architects of 20th Century culture, with luminous art by two modern masters of the field." —Warren Ellis (Gun Machine, Red)
