Synopsis for ""Meet The Beatles!""
After roughhousing around the Baxter Building (and being scolded by Reed and Sue) Johnny and Ben take Doris and Alicia out to see the Beatles perform their Manhattan gig. While the girls get to meet the Fab-Four, Ben and Johnny chase after some common crooks who stole the box office receipts. The two's bickering and some sloppy super-hero work makes an easy job somewhat difficult for the two to accomplish, but they eventually catch the crooks and recover the money, however they end up missing the Beatles' performance.

Notes
Continuity Notes
Meet the Beatles!
- The fact that the Thing and Human Torch are taking their dates out to see the Beatles perform live should be considered a topical reference based on the Sliding Timescale of Earth-616. The Beatles broke up in 1970, and since then members John Lennon and George Harrison died in 1982 and 2001 respectively. However it's possible that these might be the Skrulls who have posed as the Beatles, although there are no basis to substantiate that possibility.
- The Beatles wig that Thing wears in this issue was first given to him by the Yancy Street Gang in Fantastic Four #34.
The Defeat of Doctor Strange
- Dormammu mentions his pledge not to attack the Earth. He made this promise in Strange Tales #127.
- The Ancient One's assistant Hamir is not mentioned by name here. He is finally identified in Strange Tales #141.
