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�� greatest rock band. The heart of
Baby�� In Black is a love story. The ��ifth 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�� In Black is based on a true story.
