YELLOW SUBMARINE AND THE HULK!
December 25, 2015 7:03 AM   Subscribe

Many years ago, I introduced Metafilter to Pappy's Golden Age Comics blog. Well, for Christmas Day, Pappy has posted a wonderful gift: the comic book adaptation of the Beatles' Yellow Submarine.

If you are not into the Beatles, Diversions of the Groovy Kind, another great comic book blog, has posted Spider-Man vs. The Hulk at the Winter Olympics, a Marvel Treasury Edition from 1979. Happy Holidays, Metafilter.

Say, there's lovely Rita herself. Somehow she didn't make it into the movie. I'll take this as canonical.

Wonderful! I thought this might be that paperback I had by Max Wilk, which was illustrated with stills from the film, but no, it's something new. Thanks!

The Beatles comic is rather Winsor McKay influenced...

If you take this orange tab and close your eyes, you'll be seeing Yellow Submarine for the next 8 hours.

Is your paperback this one? IIRC, it's got a page that's nothing but incredibly elaborate instructions for making tea, seemingly modeled on the actual instructions for flushing a toilet on a real (maybe antique) submarine. I remember just being dazzled by the idea of someone going to this much effort to make a joke; it was as close to an authentically trippy experience as I got in grade school.

Yes, that's the one, but it hasn't actually been in my possession for decades. Don't recall any toilet flushing instructions... I'm a little surprised a copy can be acquired for so cheap, used via Amazon.
