The Man Whofell To Earth is a 1976 film starring David Bowie and is considered to be a landmark achievement in sci-fi filmmaking.
With its fascinating portrayal of a gentle extraterrestrial visiting Earth to retrieve water for his dying planet, it is an indictment of the evils of rampant materialism, corporate avarice and the rise of mass media.
To honor this provocative cult masterpiece, London-based Titan Comics is releasing a new official graphic novel fully approved by StudioCanal and arriving in the fall of 2022. The 128-page hardback edition will be written by Dan Watters and illustrated by Dev Pramanik.

The film version of the story centers on a man named Thomas JeromeNewton who drops in on Earth to find water to save his homeworld from suffering and extinction. By using his knowledge of advanced technology,Newton and his company develop and market a number of hi-tech inventions and scientific products that will make him one of the richest people on the planet.
With billions in profit,Newton tries to find a way to safely transport water back to his thirsty planet. While his money and celebrity grow,Newton becomes the focus of a U.S. Government investigation that threatens to undermine his entire noble quest.
You really made the grade with ground control to David Bowie.
Dan Watters said in a statement that The Man Whofell to Earth is a masterpiece of a film with an awful lot to say.
There are ideas in the film about climate crises and corporate greed that are more relevant now than they were when Nicolas Roeg set out to make it. We are here now. I think it's time to look at the world through the eyes of ThomasNewton. Maybe he'll see something we've been missing.
The Man Whofell To Earth will be in comic shops and bookstores in October of 2022. The original movie can be watched on Amazon Prime Video.
