In that same spirit, illustrator Mar? Hesse and writer Fran Ruiz have created a vivid retelling of the life of David Robert Jones, from his working-class childhood to glam rock success to superstardom, concluding with the final recording sessions after his cancer diagnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarrated from the rock star's point of view, \u003ci\u003eBowie\u003c\/i\u003e colorfully renders both the personal and the professional turning points in a life marked by evolution and innovation. We see Bowie facing the sorrow of his brother's mental illness, kicking a cocaine habit while other musicians succumbed to deadly overdoses, contending with a tumultuous love life, and radiating joy as a father. Along the way, he describes how he shattered the boundaries of song and society with a counterculture cast that included Iggy Pop, Brian Eno, and Freddie Mercury--as well as his own creations, Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvocatively illustrated from start to finish, \u003ci\u003eBowie\u003c\/i\u003e is a stellar tribute to an inimitable star.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mar?
