David Bowie’s The Man Who Fell to Earth is becoming a new graphic novel

The film adaptation of Walter Tevis' sci-fi novel of the same name has become so famous that it will be included in a comic book.

Like the film before it, The Man Whofell to Earth will tell the story of a humanoid alien who comes to Earth on a desperate mission to find water for his home planet. Watters talked about how the original story was always a commentary on humanity's relationship with Earth's natural resources in a press release about the new book.

Watters said that the ideas in the film about climate crises and corporate greed are more relevant now than they were when Nicolas Roeg set out to make it. I think it's time to look at the world through the eyes of ThomasNewton. Maybe he'll see something we've been missing.
