This is the fully-authorized graphic novel adaptation of the cult 1976 science fiction movie directed by Nicholas Roeg and starring David Bowie, Candy Clark and Rip Torn. Based on the critically acclaimed 1963 novel of the same name by Walter Trevis, author of The Hustler, The Color of Money, and The Queen's Gambit.Mysterious extra-terrestrial Thomas Jerome Newton falls to Earth on a mission to save his drought-ridden home planet of Anthea from ecological destruction.Determined to find a way to transport water back to his dying world, Newton begins selling patents for advanced technology, but his success soon makes him a target for both the government, and a sinister rival corporation.As his mission drags into years, Newton finds himself seduced by the excess of our world and becomes desperate to return home to his family.Featuring a new article on the making of The Man Who Fell to Earth by Stephen Dalton, fully illustrated with some never-before-seen photos from the actual shoot.
