adminits publisher said on Tuesday.
The 24-page “Paul McCartney: Carry that Weight” is the third comic book by US publisher Bluewater Productions about the iconic British band, which spilt-up in 1970.
Speculation about what caused the break-up has ranged from artistic differences and legal disputes outside the group to John Lennon’s marriage to artist Yoko Ono.
McCartney has said the group, which also included George Harrison and Ringo Starr, had already been winding down by the time Lennon met Ono.
“It is about Paul McCartney leaving the Beatles. We tell that story,” publisher Darren Davis said.
“These are comic books. They’re meant to be fun but educational, as well,” he added.
Although the writer reached out to the former Beatle, Davis said McCartney (70), did not contribute to the comic book.
Lennon and McCartney co-wrote a string of hit songs including “She Loves You”, “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and “A Hard Day’s Night”.
After leaving the Beatles, McCartney enjoyed a successful solo career and formed the band Wings with his first wife, Linda McCartney.
He will perform at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee in June.
The comic book will be released digitally and was expected to be available in stores by yesterday. – Reuters.
