Like the other books in the Pop Rock in Comics series, it's translated from the French (where it is Pop Rock en BD, or Pop Rock en Bandes Dessinées). Each comic strip is by the same writer, but the illustrations rotate through a dozen different artists with very different styles, which can be a bit jarring.
The copy editing isn't terrific, so you'll need to excuse some typos (like mention of the Velvet Underground's "Lou Rood"). And the format is a bit grating with its 20 chapters that each have 1) a text introduction telling you what the comic strip is about, 2) a comic strip about a small section of Bowie's life, and 3) a following text piece that repeats and elaborates on what was told in the strip in a manner that fawns over how awesome Bowie was. So much repetition! But the text pages do include photographs of the era that can be interesting to compare to the drawn art.
Anyhow, it does what it sets out to do, telling about Bowie's life chronologically, from birth to death, while picking out and highlighting some recurring themes. It dramatizes and lionizes, but I felt I got a decent sense of the artist behind the continuous reinvention his public persona underwent.
