George Harrison

A comics representation of Beatles guitarist George Harrison, capturing his image at the height of Beatlemania. This fictionalized version of the real musician appeared in teen and pop-culture comics, reflecting the massive cultural phenomenon the Beatles became from late 1963 onward.

Stepping straight out of the early Silver Age, this George Harrison made his comics debut in December 1963 — a culturally electric moment — courtesy of creator Jaume Rumeu Perera in the pages of Romeo #21. With a publishing life stretching an remarkable 55 years from 1963 to 2018, this is a character with genuine staying power, turning up across a wonderfully eclectic range of titles including Look-In, Life with Archie, and Godzilla, and sharing pages with a delightfully varied cast that spans Worzel Gummidge, Buck Rogers, and Wilma Deering. Sixty-seven catalog appearances and at least one collector-recognized key issue make this a fun rabbit hole for any fan who loves the quirky, cross-genre corners of comics history.
