Description Inspired by the one and only superhero, extraterrestrial, and rock and roll deity in history, BOWIE: Stardust, Rayguns, & Moonage Daydreams is the original graphic memoir of the great Ziggy Stardust 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; as well as the rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust, Bowie's historic alter ego.
It ends with the death of Ziggy--the alter ego's exit from Bowie's life, after accompanying Bowie on his vertiginous rise to fame and rocky ride at the top.
When the Spiders from Mars finally implode and Bowie leaves London for a new nomadic life abroad, he must lay the Ziggy persona to rest for good.
The end of Ziggy eventually changes not only Bowie, but the world itself.
