DAVID BOWIE’S THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH IS BECOMING A NEW GRAPHIC NOVEL
DENIZ AKKAYA
The Man Who Fell to Earth was David Bowie’s first acting role and now this unforgettable film finds new life in a stunning graphic novel adaptation.
“The Man Who Fell To Earth” is legendary British director Nicolas Roeg’s classic 1976 alien encounter film starring rock megastar David Bowie, and to this day it stands as a milestone achievement in sci-fi filmmaking.
Like the film before it, Titan’s The Man Who Fell to Earth will tell the story of Thomas Jerome Newton, a humanoid alien with Bowie’s signature heterochromatic eyes who comes to Earth on a desperate mission in search of water that his home planet desperately needs. In a press release about the new book, Watters reflected on how the original story was always a rumination on humanity’s relationship with Earth’s natural resources, and how he plans to revisit those themes through a contemporary lens.
