    4.0 out of 5 stars 「５番目のビートル」のコミック
    Reviewed in Japan on January 27, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    本作はザ・ビートルズのマネジャーだったブライアン・エプスタインの物語。かなりリアルな絵のコミックである。パソコン上ではカラーで綺麗である。キャヴァーン・クラブでのザ・ビートルズの目撃、ジョン・レノンの「ザ・ビートルズはキリストより有名だ」発言、32歳での死去などが取り上げられている。創作の女性“Moxie”が登場し、話をわかりやすくしている。

    「５人目のビートルがいるとすれば、それはブライアンだ」（ポール・マッカートニー、1999年）

    残念なのは拡大しにくいこと。字を読むのに苦労する。安いこともあり５つ星にしたいところだが、４つ星に止める。
