August 22 - October 1956

Visual Elvis Presley biographer Paul Belard continued his ongoing graphic biography series with a new 230-page volume, this time covering the last three weeks of October 1956. 

Description: In October 1956, Elvis went back to Dallas, Houston, Waco and San Antonio where he gave six shows that drew record crowds.

He returned to Memphis for a few days after his Texas tour. There, he got into a brawl with gas station attendants and, under the eyes of everybody in America, went to court the next day where the trial cleared him of all wrongdoing. 

Then he flew to New York for his second appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, a sweet revenge since this was the man who said earlier he would never book Elvis on his program.

Elvis ended the month shooting a new ending for 'Love Me Tender' and frolicking with Hollywood star Natalie Wood in his home town.
