Warning: includes spoilers for Amazing Spider-Man #850!

Peter Parker gets by with a little help from The Beatles in The Amazing Spider-Man #850. The web-slinger’s anniversary issue presents readers with Spider-Man’s final battle against the sinister Sin-Eater. Spidey’s longtime nemesis, the Green Goblin, even joins forces with the hero to deliver an action-packed story. Nick Spencer tells a captivating tale with help from artists Ryan Ottley, Humberto Ramos, and Mark Bagley. For readers looking for more action, however, there are an additional three stories at the end of the book, one of which contains several not-so-subtle references to the Fab Four.

Musicians are no strangers to the comic book industry. Artists ranging from Jim Croce to Childish Gambino to the Barenaked Ladies have at some point referenced superheroes in their music. Some musicians have even gotten the chance to become a part of comic book history by appearing in stories and even writing them. Eminem once crossed the Punisher, the band KISS starred in their own comic book series, and Gerard Way of the band My Chemical Romance created The Umbrella Academy. Being one of the most popular bands in history, The Beatles have appeared in various comic book panels over the years, and even today, Spider-Man is enjoying their greatest hits.

The short story “All You Need Is…” by writer Kurt Busiek and artist Chris Bachalo opens up with Peter Parker following his boss, J. Jonah Jameson, into the Metropolitan Museum of Art to take photos at a new exhibit. As they enter, a young woman named Judy approaches Peter, compliments his headphones, and asks what he is listening to. Peter mentions that he is listening to “some vintage stuff” and lists off two Beatles songs, Nowhere Man and I’m A Loser. This leads to the two having a conversation referencing several more Beatles songs. Unfortunately, as they talk, J. Jonah Jameson touches the piece on display, a ruby called the Star of Capistan, and unknowingly unleashes the villain, Red Rajah, from captivity.

The Red Rajah possesses Jameson and attempts to take over the rest of humanity to form one collective consciousness. Everyone in the museum is almost instantly absorbed into this unified mind, except for Spider-Man. Thanks to a bit of tampering, Spidey’s headphones emit a “discordant subsonic squeal” that keeps him from being possessed. The wall-crawler springs into action, listening to The Beatles and fighting ravenous strawberry monsters created by the Red Rajah in the Strawberry Fields memorial. Spider-Man quickly finds himself overwhelmed and realizes that he won’t be able to fight his way out of this battle. Luckily, the lyrics playing through his head give him a great idea and he embraces Jameson while shouting about peace and love. This enrages Jameson, whose hatred for Spider-Man ends up being powerful enough to break him from the Red Rajah’s sway. Having saved the day, Spidey decides to get the ruby into the better-suited hands of Doctor Strange and swings away as Jameson yells about the Spider-Menace.

The story is a short one, but it’s certainly fun seeing the crazy amount of Beatles references that Busiek is able to toss in. The band’s music remains immensely popular and continues to spread a positive message to listeners. The Amazing Spider-Man #850 shows that John, Paul, George, and Ringo’s music is powerful in more ways than one and, thankfully, Spider-Man is a fan. Who knows what would’ve happened if Spidey had been headbanging to death metal?
