But this wasn’t the only biocomic Marvel did. A year later, they published Mother Teresa of Calcutta #1, which is the reason why Mother Teresa has a profile page on the Marvel Wiki listing three guys younger than her as her creators. The cover this time isn’t as exciting as the Pope John Paul II one, but it did at least include a character box on the corner with a little Mother T standing there like she’s Spider-Man swinging to the rescue.

Of course, doing comics about the Pope and Mother Teresa would have been pretty disrespectful if Marvel hadn’t already published two issues about the most important spiritual leaders of the 20th century: The Beatles. The first one is a perfectly competent (boring) biography for the band, while the second has become one of the most sought-after collectibles for Beatles fans everywhere due to the utter crappiness of the source material.
See, Marvel’s second Beatles-centric comic was based on the 1978 Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band movie starring the dream team of the Bee Gees, Alice Cooper, and Steve Martin. The studio reportedly hyped the movie as “This generation’s Gone with the Wind,” but instead it went over like a wet fart, prompting Marvel to deem the completed 50-page comic unpublishable and throw it in the trash. It still came out in France, though.
