Amala's Blade

Bowie

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.
