Michael Allred – författare

In life, David Bowie was one of the most magnetic icons of modern pop culture, seducing generations of fans with both his music and his counterculture persona. In death, the cult of Bowie has only intensified. As a musician alone, Bowie’s legacy is remarkable, but his place in the popular imagination is due to so much more than his music. As a visual performer, he defied classification with his psychedelic aesthetics, his larger-than-life image, and his way of hovering on the border of the surreal.BOWIE: Stardust, Rayguns & Moonage Daydreams chronicles the rise of Bowie’s career from obscurity to fame; and paralleled by the rise and fall of his alter ego as well as the rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust. As the Spiders from Mars slowly implode, Bowie wrestles with his Ziggy persona. The outcome of this internal conflict will change not only David Bowie, but also, the world.

Bowie. Der einzig wahre Superheld. Nicht von dieser Welt – Eine Gottheit der Geschichte des Rock`n`Rolls. Die Inspiration für diese originellen Comic-Memoiren des großen Ziggy Stardust.Zu Lebzeiten war David Bowie eine Ikone der modernen Popkultur, die kaum jemand an magnetischer Ausstrahlung überbieten konnte. Er vermochte es, Fans seiner Musik und seiner außerordentlichen Person im Zeichen einer kulturellen Gegenbewegung in den Bann zu ziehen. Im Tode nahm die Intensität des Kults um Bowie nur noch zu. Allein durch seine Musik erschuf Bowie ein beachtliches Vermächtnis, dem aber seine generelle Rolle in den wichtigen Anfängen eines neuen Kulturverständnisses in nichts nachsteht. Als visuell erstklassiger Performer trotzte er mit seiner psychedelisch anmutenden Ästhetik allen Klischees und Schubladen… überlebensgroß und schillernd, erschien seine Persönlichkeit manchmal fast surreal. BOWIE: SERNENSTAUB, STRAHLENKANONEN UND TAGTRÄUME zeichnet die unterschiedlichen Stadien von Bowies Karriere von Obskurität zu Ruhm auf. Aufstieg und Fall seines Alter Egos Ziggy Stardust, der stete Erfolg von AS THE SPIDERS und der womöglich größte Ausnahmekünstler unserer Zeit – der konstante Kampf: Bowie vs. Ziggy. Kurzum: ein kulturelles Comicmanifest der absoluten Extraklasse.
