Enough of the brazen lie about Heinz Edelmann already. He didn't need to imitate Max and his bland RGB pap. He had plenty of style and imagination, and mountains of credit under his belt, well before Max came onto the scene. Just check the archives of any important graphic art publication, like Graphis. Edelmann is a constant presence from the late Fifties till the Eighties, while Max is a flash in the pan under the "1968 hippy poster" tag, and that's it. The fact he repeatedly postured, before an ignorant American audience, as the one who had done the job for the Yellow Submarine movie, going as far as to call Edelmann an imitator, shows a deplorable character. He should be sued by the Edelmann estate. Too much is too much.
Truly fitting of the saying the best gets the best ...the rest gets the rest ...often imitated never duplicated...

Heinz Edelmann was the real Beatles artist and not an imposter.
