A hardcover graphic novel about the period of Bowie’s life when he was making MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD and HUNKY DORY. He lived in a rambling old house called Haddon Hall with his wife Angie, soon to birth their son Zowie, and a bunch of friends and fellow artists (and apparently Sid Barret).
I knew a bit, not a ton, about Bowie’s life; but I didn’t always know who key characters were (Marc Bolan of T Rex, for example) or exactly what was going on. It was cool though.
The parts about David’s schizophrenic older brother, Terry; and about his father’s death, were VERY touching.
Silly, but you just don’t tend to think about David Bowie as having a “Mum and Dad.” But of course, he did.
