“Full of rare photographs, niche comics and truly irresistible B-roll ephemera, it makes for a deeply textured study of an artist who rarely maintained a fixed shape for long.” (Electronic Sound)
Part photo-book, part art-book, ‘The Grand Illusion of David Bowie’ is a celebration of the life and prestigious talents of one of the most extraordinary individuals of the 20th Century. Eisner Award-nominated author David Currie takes us through Bowie’s career, sharing his concert photography from the 1980s, while recounting stories of living during the times of the Starman and of meeting the man himself on many occasions. All Bowie fans will love this high-quality hardback book and it will look great on coffee tables around the globe. Artist George Underwood, Bowie’s pal since childhood, also shares memories of his long-time friend, together with rare personal photographs and the majority of his iconic Bowie artwork is collected together in this book, which also features influences of science fiction and comic books on Bowie, plus stunning artwork from world-renowned artists, including Simpsons artist Bill Morrison, that have been produced just for this book.
