Baby's in Black: Astrid Kirchherr, Stuart Sutcliffe, and The Beatles

(1) YA Translated by Michael Waaler. In this quiet, atmospheric biographical graphic novel, Bellstorf depicts the brief, intense love affair between Astrid Kirchherr and Stuart Sutcliffe--the man known as "The Fifth Beatle." The illustrations' bleak mood befits both Hamburg's underground music scene and the couple's doomed relationship, but the seriousness does not undercut the authenticity or passion behind this real-life love affair.
