Titan Comics will publish this fall a graphic novel adaptation of the David Bowie-starring science fiction film The Man Who Fell to Earth. The book will be written by Dan Watters (Cowboy Bebop) with art by Dev Pramanik (Dune: House Atreides).

The film, based on the classic science fiction novel by Walter Tevis (The Queen's Gambit, The Hustler), sees an extraterrestrial called Thomas Jerome Newton (played in the movie by David Bowie) land on Earth in search of water to save his dying home planet. Using his advanced scientific knowledge, Thomas becomes incredibly rich thanks to dozens of inventions his company releases. He uses his wealth to search for a way to transport water back to his home planet, but as his wealth and his fame grows, Thomas becomes a target of interest to the U.S. Government who begin to investigate him.

The Man Who Fell to Earth graphic novel (126pp, hardcover $29.99) is fully authorized by StudioCanal and set for release in comic shops, bookstores, and digital devices in Fall 2022.

C'est fou comme Bowie inspire l'imaginaire, en ce moment il y a aussi ce perso dans The Marvels qui est tiré de lui.

Dans the Marvels j'ai plutôt l'impression que Kurt Busiek s'autoparodie (ou bien manque d'idée) en utilisant un personnage au visuel (et rôle) rappelant fortement celui de Astro City (déjà inspiré de D Bowie) :

Oui j'avais aussi signalé le rapprochement.

Et donc, c'est plutôt Busiek ET Ross, qui s'auto-référencient.
