If you like the Beatles or Yellow Submarine, then I’d suggest picking this up because just like the album and film this feels like an experiment in bringing new ideas to life. So in the end it does exactly what the original film did, making this a pretty darn successful adaptation. However, that constraint doesn’t stop this book as it decides to take the plot and story of Yellow Submarine and uses to challenge how the comic medium works in the same way the source material did. In the end, forming a conclusion on this is quite difficult because as an adaptation it almost doesn’t work due to the fact that, on paper, you simply can’t turn a film about music into a comic with no sound. It’s so strange and challenges the limitations of its medium just like the film did 50 years ago. But this wilfully unconventional approach is what makes this book work so well. In fact, I think and I’m sure Yellow Submarine breaks half the rules of sequential art along the way.
The comic also uses Yellow Submarine’s strange nature to its advantage as we get some truly weird panel shapes and, at points, break of the fourth wall entirely.

The slightly ‘off’ skin colours and strange designs leaves you wondering who had the imagination for such a strange world. The insane, trippy imagery of Andrew Pepoy and Nathan Kane brilliantly recreates the look and style of the 1968 film. And when you combine Bill Morrison’s wilfully inventive layouts with the Beatle’s distinctive sound the comic truly comes alive. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album while reading. I mean, how can one review a comic based on Beatle’s music? The only way I found was to play the entire Sgt. To stop The Blue Meanies the people of Pepperland will have to turn to four men whose music inspires love, joy and peace without equal, The Beetles. But the people of Pepperland had an enemy that hated music, joy and love. Once upon a time – or maybe twice, it doesn’t really matter – there was a place called Pepperland. Which begs the question, can a story which relied so heavily on the Beatles music and sound work in a medium of pages without a note to be heard, or is love all you need to enjoy this bizarre spectacle? But one of the strangest things to come from the Beatles domination of the 60s would be their third feature film, the animated Yellow Submarine. What can you say about the Beatles? Arguably one of the greatest and most influential bands in the history of music, with a sound and impact that defines the 1960s.
