Tim Sale is one of my biggest influences and is truly one of the nicest artists in the comics industry. His work on Batman: Long Halloween and Batman: Dark Victory defines the character for me, and his Superman For All Seasons is one of my favorite Superman stories of all time. Tim's passion for and knowledge of the history of illustration is infectious, and wouldn't you know it, he's a HUGE Beatles fan. Just this last weekend at the CTN Expo in Burbank, Tim created this beautiful piece for the Beatles book, depicting George, John and Paul as they appeared very early in their career in Hamburg, Germany. This is before Ringo joined the band, when Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe were temporary Beatles. Big thanks to John Higashi for whispering whatever sweet magic he did to get Tim to do this piece for us.
