Bowie: Stardust, Rayguns, & Moonage Daydreams (Ogn Biography of Ziggy Stardust, Gift for Bowie Fan, Gift for Music Lover, Nei by Mike Allred

5.0

Wow - the best Bowie graphic bio I have read so far. From the moment I saw Neil Gaiman’s name on the introduction I was hooked, and sure enough this didn’t disappoint. Once again we get a snapshot of Bowie’s rise in and around the Ziggy Stardust years. Despite the well-traveled material this version was both clean and collaged, offering perspective that both cut to the heart of Bowie’s path while also papering the landscape of the era with a collage of images and references to other important cultural references from the time. I loved the art without reservation. Somehow this didn’t feel like story so much as a taste of a true moment in an artist’s life.
