Title Splash Page to The Beatles No. 1, August, 1966. A title splash page is a single-panel intro page to the first story of a comic book. It was hand-produced on the comic book industry 11 x 17 illustration board and finished in the standard camera-ready process. The production incorporates pen-and-ink work, archival pigment printing, and physical cut-and-paste headings and text.
In the mid-60s, a few comic book issues highlighted the Fab Four with illustrated cameos, with one adapting the animated movie Yellow Submarine. Inexplicably, however, there never was a comic series based on their 1960s Saturday morning cartoon show... not until our unofficial representation King Features Syndicate, Inc. - King Comics parody company, "Kong Creatures Advocate Link - Kong Comics," took up the mantle, that is! The exclusive book’s title splash page graphic is a reduced color version of the line art. The rest of the comic contains a "Tremendous Trio" origin story chronicling the creation of the Beatles Cartoon Show Alternate Comicverse set, plus our parodies of classic comic book ads and features. Please see The Book page for comic contents info.
Our Beatles 1960s cartoon show Alternate Comicverse card is No. 29 of a fictional series of 66 cards issued by our Fleer cards parody company, "Cleer." The series' setting is 1966.
