Pressetext: Critically acclaimed cartoonist Carol Tyler recreates the exhilaration and excitement of Beatlemania at its height in 1965, her personal obsession with the Beatles, and her odyssey that leads her to the famous Beatles Chicago concert later that year. Told in the voice of its 13-year-old author, Fab 4 Mania is a facsimile of the diary that she kept throughout 1965, and is brimming with rich period details, humor, and insight. It’s a look into the life of a teenager from a working-class family whose love of music awakens her senses and opens her up to the world beyond that of small-town Fox Lake, Illinois. It is also about the Beatles, as seen through the eyes of a young, giddy teenager and a reflective, adult artist, and the joy the band gives.

Beatles Museum:

Die bekannte Karikaturistin Carol Tyler schildert anhand von Texten und Zeichnungen die selbst erlebte Beatlemania in den USA im Jahr 1965. Laut Pressetext besuchte sie 1965 ein Konzert der Beatles in Chicago. (Allerdings gaben die Beatles 1965 kein Konzert in Chicago, jedoch einen Auftritt am Samstag 5. September 1964 und zwei Auftritte am Freitag 12. August 1966, alle im International Amphitheatre.)

Erzählt wird alles in Form von Tagebucheintragungen einer 13-jährigen, die als Teenager einer Familie der Arbeiterklasse die Musik der Beatles entdeckte. Interessant ist es, nachzulesen, wie ein junger Fan damals die Beatles gesehen hat.
