New Speculative Graphic Novel Explores a World Absent a Different Beatle in Paul is Dead

Creators Paolo Baron and Ernesto Carbonetti team up for a speculative fiction graphic novel steeped in music history and Beatlemania in the forthcoming Paul Is Dead. It will be available from Image Comics this April.

Set in London, November 1966, this new graphic novel retells the most popular conspiracy theory in music history and, in a sense, showcases the very first “fake news” of the entertainment world.

John Lennon can’t speak, he can’t take his eyes off a photo of a car in flames with the body of Paul McCartney inside. His friend is no longer there, and that means the Beatles are no longer there, either. But John wants to know the truth, and with George and Ringo, he starts to re-examine the final hours in Paul’s life.

Set in the magical atmosphere of Abbey Road Studios during the writing sessions for Sgt. Pepper, Paul is Dead is the definitive version of the legend of the Paul McCartney’s death.

The Paul is Dead original graphic novel will be available on Wednesday, April 22 at comic shops. Stay tuned to PREVIEWSworld to find out when you can preorder a copy at your local comic shop.
