1972 saw the birth of the rock 'n' roll messiah Ziggy Stardust, whose provocative play with sexual identity and gender roles laid the foundation for David Bowie's rise as the "most influential pop musician of all time" (New Musical Express).
Starman tells the story of the rise and fall of arguably the most famous alter ego in music history.
Reinhard Kleist captivatingly weaves together the genesis of the flamboyant persona with both David Bowie's luckless efforts in the London music scene before Ziggy Stardust and his struggle with his own creation at the height of fame: Bowie increasingly transforms into an egocentric rock star himself, threatening to collapse under the weight of his own decadent lifestyle…
Reinhard Kleist's elegant and incisive drawings in Starman are congenially complemented by the coloring of Thomas Gilke.
