Marvel Super Special #7: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band




Marvel Super Special was a magazine-sized comic series that ran in the '70s and '80s, usually featuring comic adaptations of new movies. For unknown reasons (most likely because the movie quickly proved to be an overwhelming flop), when it came time to release issue #7, the adaptation of the big-screen version of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the book was completed, but Marvel backed out at the last minute. If any copies were printed, they're presumed to have been destroyed. The comic was allegedly released in France, the Netherlands and Germany in each of their respective languages, but it's an extremely rare occasion when copies surface. Matter of fact, illustrator George Perez commented, that the book is "the rarest piece of George Perez printed artwork you can find."
