One of my favourite graphic novels! This book, which focusses on David Bowie's early career--the Ziggy Stardust phase, primarily, was created with an amazing amount of love and care. Each and every page, each frame, is a work of art.
The interior art is by the same artist as the cover and the quality is identical. The likenesses are spot-on and every detail is carefully crafted to be accurate and beautiful. This was a very well researched book, with lots of interesting tidbits that even a hardcore Bowie fan might find to be new.
A+ graphic novel, A+ Bowie fan material. It is a very image-heavy book, with less text, but that's ok given how spectacular Bowie looked during this period of his life. It's important that we get to see his visual impact, and we certainly do, here!
A wonderful book for any Bowie fan, rock music fan, or anyone who simply loves truly exceptional sequential art, which this is. If you want to convert a friend into a Bowie Freak, giving them this book could be a good way to start!
