McCartney Times

The comic strip/graphic novel has emerged as one of the most engaging media to compress history in today’s times. But it is not easy to trace the story of The Beatles, one of the greatest bands in the history of Rock and Roll, with minute detail. Jason Quinn, the author of Steve Jobs: Genius by Design, attempts a masterstroke. This book deserves credit for singling out anecdotes that define The Beatles’ love for music and how much they loved to exchange art. The Beatles: All Our Yesterdays (Campfire) sketches the upbringing, adolescence and the inevitable stardom of John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. It is a time machine into the alleys of Liverpool, notorious lanes of Hamburg and the days of unconditional friendship. It is divided into four parts (ending at 1962) and followed by an epilogue.Quinn understands the pulse of The Beatles and their endless gusto for music. He weaves small incidents like Lennon pinching a harmonica from a music store in Arnhem and Harrison lifting a record of the Coasters from a friend’s place into the book.
