Both of the guys are huge Beatles fans, and you can tell how excited they are in discussing these texts.

What makes this book stand out is that it's primarily narrated in the first person through imagined therapy sessions that Lennon undergoes.

After that they jump into Bill Morrison's recent adaptation of Yellow Submarine(Titan Comics). Thi
