The Ray comic books issue 1

2nd and later printings.

Written by Steve Horton. Art and cover by Michael Allred. Foreword by Neil Gaiman.

Inspired by the one and only superhero, extraterrestrial, and rock and roll deity in history, BOWIE: Stardust, Rayguns, & Moonage Daydreams is the original graphic memoir of the great Ziggy Stardust!

In life, David Bowie was one of the most magnetic icons of modern pop culture, seducing generations of fans with both his music and his counterculture persona. In death, the cult of Bowie has only intensified. As a musician alone, Bowie's legacy is remarkable, but his place in the popular imagination is due to so much more than his music. As a visual performer, he defied classification with his psychedelic aesthetics, his larger-than-life image, and his way of hovering on the border of the surreal.

BOWIE: Stardust, Rayguns, & Moonage Daydreams chronicles the rise of Bowie's career from obscurity to fame; and paralleled by the rise and fall of his alter ego as well as the rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust. As the Spiders from Mars slowly implode, Bowie wrestles with his Ziggy persona. The outcome of this internal conflict will change not only David Bowie, but also, the world.

Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 160 pages, full color.

He became a man consumed with his own rage, and an era of heroism ended. Softcover, 368 pages, full color. Cover price $34.99.

1st Printing. Lou Fine (1914-1971) is acknowledged as one of the masters of illustration during the Golden Age of comics in the 1940s and early 1950's. His lines and eye for composition have been largely hidden from the modern reader and collector, because many of the original comics in which his work appeared are extremely expensive today, and out of reach of most. His short-live series, THE RAY, appearing in Smash Comics, is considered a masterpiece ---- and now is available in one volume, in full-color, as part of Calumet History and Hobby's reprint line! These stories originally appeared in Smash Comics #14-23, 26, & 30-34. Softcover, 8.5" x 11", 142 pages, full color.
