Actually a great biography in comic book form. Touching on other music happenings at the time of each Bowie event.

Mildly interesting chronology of Bowie's life in the 60s and 70s. Really, this is only for true fans.
Instead of an actual narrative, this is more a series of snap shots with celebrity placement: here's Bowie meeting his manager, here's Bowie buying clothes from Freddie Mercury, etc.
Given all of the material out there to pull from, it would have been interesting to get into the thoughts and feelings of Bowie at the time, instead of just a slavish devotion to photo reference.

I appreciate that this was a love letter to Bowie, but ultimately that's all it was. I was hoping for more of a storytelling approach. It also -only- covers through the rise of Ziggy Stardust, so if you're expecting something more comprehensive, this isn't it.
