The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story, by Vivek J. Tiwary, Andrew C. Robinson, and Kyle Baker (M Press/Dark Horse)

“The Beatles” – группа, расколовшая мировую культуру на "до" и "после", а имена Джона Леннона, Ринго Старра, Пола Маккартни и Джорджа Харрисона давно вошли в историю. Но одно имя осталось в тени невероятного успеха ливерпульской четверки: имя человека, благодаря которому Битлз получили свой первый контракт со звуковым лейблом, попали на экраны телевизоров, прорвались на вершины хит-парадов и стали гастролировать по всему миру. Брайан Эпстайн, не имевший никакого опыта в музыкальном бизнесе, на концерте начинающих музыкантов в маленьком полуподвальном клубе Ливерпуля оказался совершенно случайно. Но именно с этой знаковой случайности по-настоящему началась история легендарного успеха "The Beatles".

Брайан, долгие годы державший руку на пульсе группы, угас значительно раньше ее славы – в 32 года, практически сразу после прекращения гастролей в 1967 году. Три года спустя, в интервью Rolling Stone, Джон Леннон назвал этот момент "началом конца".

Брайан Эпстайн так и не был посвящен в рыцари Британской Империи, а включение его имени в Зал Славы рок-н-ролла состоялось лишь в 2014 году, спустя полвека после его гибели.

О том, как группа обивала пороги звукозаписывающих компаний и мирилась с неудачами, искала музыкальный и внешний стили, меняла состав и шагала на пути к славе под чутким руководством Брайана Эпстайна - в графическом романе "Пятый Битл".

The Mysterious Underground Men, by Osamu Tezuka (PictureBox)

The influence of Osamu Tezuka (1928–1989) on Japanese cartoons and animation is comparable only to a Walt Disney or an Art Spiegelman. Now, manga fans can finally enjoy the first full-color Tezuka work to be published in English. While Tezuka’s New Treasure Island (1946–47) was the first major hit for the “god of manga,” the artist himself regarded this later publication as the first of his signature “story manga.” Originally published in Osaka in 1948, The Mysterious Underground Men tells the story of Mimio the talking rabbit, as he struggles to prove his humanity while helping his friends save Earth from an invasion of angry humanoid ants. Inspired by Bernhard Kellermann’s Der Tunnel (1913), and drawing widely on European and American science fiction as well as Milt Gross’ own pioneering graphic novel, He Done Her Wrong (1930), this full-color edition of The Mysterious Underground Men will not only introduce to English-language readers a founding father of modern Japanese comics, but will also offer a rare glimpse of the wide-ranging Western cultural sources that made up young Tezuka’s world. This is the second volume in PictureBox’s Ten Cent Manga series, edited by Ryan Holmberg, which aims to explore that mysterious nether-realm where Japanese and American popular culture overlap.

Genius, Illustrated: The Life and Art of Alex Toth, designed by Dean Mullaney (The Library of American Comics/IDW)

Dean Mullaney and Bruce Canwell continue their comprehensive review of the life and art of Alex Toth in Genius, Illustrated. Covering the years from the 1960s to Toth's poignant death in 2006, this oversized 9.5" v 13" book features artwork and complete stories from Toth's latter-day work at Warren, DC Comics, Red Circle, Marvel, and his own creator-owned properties, plus samples of his animation work for Hanna-Barbera, Ruby-Spears, and others, as well as sketchbook pages, doodles, advertising art, and other rarities provided through the cooperation of Toth's family and his legion of fans.
Two of Toth's best stories are reproduced complete from the original artwork: "Burma Skies" and "White Devil...Yellow Devil." A full-length text biography will chart the path from Toth's increasingly-reclusive lifestyle to his touching re-connection to the world in his final years. Fans of comics, cartoons, and all-around great artwork revere Alex Toth. See why Genius, Illustrated — along with its companion volume, 2011's Genius, Isolated — are being praised as the definitive examination of the life and art of The Master, Alex Toth.
Volume 2 of a definitive three-volume series.
“A high-water mark in the field of comic artist biography.”
—New York Journal of Books
"This is a great book...A very revealing and inspiring publishing achievement that all Toth fans will love."
—The Animation Guild
"Under the hands of Bruce Canwell and Dean Mullaney, Genius Illustrated sets the absolute gold standard for deluxe artist biographies. There have been some wonderful comics history books released in the last few years, but this book surpasses them all in terms of its production values, its comprehensiveness and the quality of the biographical information presented. Alex Toth was one of the greatest artists ever to work in the comic art medium. This book merits the highest possible compliment: it's a worthy tribute to Toth."
