Moore. Gaiman. Morrison. They came from Northampton, West Sussex, and Glasgow, and even though they spoke with different dialects, they gave American comics a new voice - one loud and clear enough to speak to the Postmodern world. Like a triple-helix strand of some advanced form of DNA, their careers have remained irrevocably intertwined. They go together, like Diz, Bird, and Monk... or like Kerouac, Burroughs, and Ginsberg... or like the Beatles, the Stones, and the Who. Taken individually, their professional histories provide an incomplete picture of the British Invasion, but together they redefined the concept of what it means to be a comic book writer. Collectively, their story becomes the story of mainstream comics in the modern era. It's the story you're about to read. From Sequart Organization. More info at http: //sequart.org

This lavish book, featuring many previously unseen photographs, reproductions of newspaper front pages and other visuals, covers the events leading up to moment when British music exploded on to the American scene and Beatlemania went Transatlantic. The first book of its kind to look in depth at the phenomenon of the British Invasion, it also covers all the bands subsequent to the Beatles that have made it big in the States. While much has been made of the influence American rock'n'roll had on UK bands, until now little has been said on the way British music influenced American culture.
