*Dell: Issued by Dell Comics in 1964, just when the Fab Four were riding a huge wave of popularity, this unusual 64-page squarebound giant features, after an opening framing sequence, comic-strip life stories of each individual Beatle, then a further 26-page comic strip starring the whole gang. The writer remains lost to history, but the illustrator was Joe Sinnott, in one of his rare full-art jobs, not just inking, and an even rarer non-Marvel gig for the legendary Bullpen stalwart. Also featured are full-page photo pin-ups of each Beatle, complete with printed autograph, and two full-colour photo pages. This is a UK overprinted copy of the hard-to-find one-shot (2/6? Outrageous!) in FN+, with only light ‘glue puckering’ on the otherwise intact spine, and excellent interior page quality.
