Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and the world of Pepperland from the music-hating Blue Meanies. <p/>The music-loving, underwater paradise of Pepperland has been overrun by the music-hating Blue Meanies and their leader, Chief Blue Meanie. They turn the people of Pepperland into living statues by dropping apples on them and imprison the Pepperland's guardians, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band inside a soundproof blue glass globe, before confiscating all the music instruments in the land. Pepperland's mayor sends aging sailor, Young Fred out in the fabled Yellow Submarine to find help. He travels to our world where he stumbles across the Beatles and begs them to help him free his world. They agree and head back to Pepperland, teaming up with Jeremy The Nowhere Man along the way to help overthrow the evil Blue Meanies through the power of music and love.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>If any music movie has the right to be adapted into a comic book, due both to its aesthetics and its historical importance, Yellow Submarine is the one... bright and colorful and fun. - Nerdist <p/>Beautiful - Sci Fi Now Magazine <p/>Superb artwork" - SFX Magazine <p/>"We declare Yellow Submarine an absolute hoot. 4/5" - Record Collector Magazine <p/>The biggest thing to hit music/comics collaborations since Rob Liefeld's Abbey Road - Bleeding Cool <p/>"Very impressive... cleverly catches the film's phantasmagorical breeze" - Prog Magazine <p/>Each page or double-page spread act[s] almost as a piece of poster art in itself ...
