Who’s Who On The Beatles’ ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ Album Cover
The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band remains the most iconic album cover of all time. From Paul McCartney’s original concept to the final design, staged by British pop artist Peter Blake and his then-wife, Jann Haworth, it’s not just an album cover, but a dazzling display of modern art that defines its era.
Not only a groundbreaking design for the time, the artwork also broke the bank, costing almost £3,000 to create – well over £50,000 in today’s money and more than any other pop album sleeve at that time. The concept was for the four Beatles themselves to appear in costume as Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, surrounded by a gathering of influential people as if they had just performed a concert. A total of 58 different people are depicted on the final artwork, which was photographed by Michael Cooper.

From Iky Mo To Lord Horror:
Representations Of Jews In British Comics
You know how it is with buses - you wait for ages and then three come along one after the other? Well, the same seems to be true of British peer-reviewed academic journals about comics. Following the launch by the International Bande Dessinée Society in June 2008 of European Comic Art, this year has seen the arrival of both the Journal of Graphic Novels & Comics from Routledge and Studies in Comics from Intellect Books.
I’ve been involved in all three, contributing the opening essays for the first volumes of European Comic Art on Gianni de Luca: Thinking Outside the Box, and of The Journal of Graphic Novels & Comics in the form of the essay below on Representations of Jews in British Comics, as well as assisting as Reviews Editor for Studies in Comics. Who would have thought that the UK, of all places, would ever boast three serious semi-annual journals on comics?
And all three publications are also supporting the Comica Symposium: Transitions, a free one-day conference on 5 Novevember 2010 in association with The School of Arts at Birkbeck, University of London. Speakers now confirmed include: Maggie Gray (UCL); Chris Howard (SOAS); Sarah Lightman (Glasgow); Ben Little (M
