Three Houses AU: Meet the Mach Four - Marianne Magazine Cover, 1964
I was strollin' 'cross the pond one day...In the Marianne month of May-ay-ay...
Continuing my showcase of Mach Four 'periphery', here is my fourth-ever commissioned piece by AlbertoV, with 'lettering' by yours truly. Following the lead of the previous Dorothea/"Dottie" piece, and the one based around Annette/"Annie", now we have lead guitarist Marianne in the spotlight, and again, AlbertoV did a great job rendering a circa-1964 version of our favorite shy, soft-spoken horse-whisperer of a healer from the Golden Deer House, complete with giving her a close facsimile of George Harrison's Rickenbacker guitar (Marianne being the George of the Mach Four). The presentation here is based on one of four special issues (one for each Beatle) put out by the publisher behind Teen Screen magazine, boasting all sorts of content that probably couldn't be pulled off by a teenager-aimed publication today.
