Chapter 6: Meet the Beetles
Story on Interior Page(s)
22   There are a few Beatles references, including the story title, which is a play on the title of the first Beatles album released in the US, and the first panel on p. 4, which is a visual refence to the album cover of the Beatles' Abbey Road. The Sherlock Holmes panel is taken from the cover to Detective Comics (DC, 1937 series) #572. Booster's review of Ted Kord's career as Blue Beetle includes scenes of Ted Kord taking over from his predecessor, fighting the Madmen, at one of the Monitor's tuning forks from Crisis on Infinite Earths (DC, 1985 series), a version of the cover of Justice League (DC, 1987 series) #1, the Justice League fighting Doomsday, and working with the Birds of Prey. In the files Ted Kord sees on Booster Gold are pictures from when Booster wore armor towards the end of the Justice League America series, from the Conglomerate series in Justice League Quarterly (DC, 1990 series), and from the cover of Formerly Known As the Justice League (DC, 2003 series) #1.
