Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, The Thin White Duke: David Bowie had an extraordinary talent for reinvention. But at the beginning of his career, he made the most significant transformation of his life: from “David” to Bowie.

In 1969, shortly after the release of his first hit single, David and his girlfriend Angie move into Haddon Hall, a sprawling Victorian villa in the London suburbs. Part commune, part creative hub, the house becomes home to a community of musicians, hippies, and hangers-on. As egos clash and parties get out of hand, David keeps writing: “Changes,” “Kooks,” “Life on Mars”—songs that will propel him to global fame. Charting Bowie’s personal life, the development of his music, and the transformation of his image, Haddon Hall is an evocative portrait of a young artist presiding over a musical revolution.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Haddon Hall thrives in its sharp focus on a specifically influential time in Bowie’s life, the beginning of his metamorphosis from an ordinary folk musician into a glam rock superstar — with some help from his friends, of course. And even though the stories in the book are true... they’re so neatly and sequentially arranged that they create a sense of destiny for its main characters. David Bowie, creator of destinies for his own multiple personas, would certainly be pleased."

―Hyperallergic

"...breezy yet sharp and highly colorful art is certainly evocative..."―Publishers Weekly

"This book is a delight... It shows in its not-too-serious way that creativity can be a grind, and that none of us — not even David Bowie — was born a fully formed artist."―Boing Boing

    Entrega perfecta, quizas algo más tarde de lo habitual. El libro es perfecto, edición muy buena. Como se describe, es en inglés, pero si eso no te importa o es para un regalo, es una elección perfecta, con un precio muy bueno. Recomendable.

    Reviewed in Germany on March 16, 2017

    Dieser Comic, der 2012 zunächst auf Französisch erschien, liegt nun erstmals in englischer Sprache vor. Er beschreibt, aus der Sicht des Hauses „Haddon Hall“, wie aus David Robert Jones David Bowie wurde. Nach eigenen Angaben (in einem Interview) war es nicht das Anliegen des Autors, eine Biographie zu machen, sondern eine Geschichte zu erzählen, quasi als Hommage an das Idol seiner Jugend. Deshalb dürfen Leser auch nicht unbedingt harte Fakten erwarten.

    Der Comic erzählt, wie David, noch als relativ unbekannter Künstler, mit seiner Frau Angela, jeder Menge Musiker und dem Produzenten Toni Visconti in das riesige alte Haus Haddon Hall einzieht. Marc Bolan taucht ab und zu als Gast auf, Davids Manager DeVries hängt herum, später zieht Davids an Schizophrenie erkrankter älterer Bruder Terry mit ein, ebenso der gleichfalls psychisch kranke Syd Barret. Leser können miterleben, wie David Höhen und Tiefen durchlebt und nach und nach Ziggy Stardust geboren wird. Leider fällte es schwer, Phantasie und Realität voneinander zu unterscheiden. Ich hätte schon manchmal gern gewusst: war das jetzt wirklich so, oder doch nur eine Erfindung? Resultierte Davids lebenslange Flugangst aus dem turbulenten Rückflug von Malta nach England? Hat der Direktor des Sanatoriums ihn wirklich dazu erpresst, Syd Barret bei sich aufzunehmen?

    Die Zeichnungen sind künstlerisch sehr gelungen. Der Stil erinnert an die 60er und 70er Jahre, ein bisschen an die frühen „Paulchen Panther“-Filme. Besonders Emotionen und innere Vorgänge werden zeichnerisch sehr gut dargestellt. Was die Erkennbarkeit der Figuren angeht, wird es jedoch schwierig. David, Marc und die anderen sind nicht gut zu identifizieren, lassen sich jedoch (evtl. mit Vorkenntnissen) aus dem Zusammenhang erschließen.

    Der Comic ist eindeutig etwas für Bowie-Fans und Bowie-Kenner. Diese werden ihren Spaß haben. Die erzähle Periode ist sehr kurz, vielleicht zwei Jahre. Wer gar nichts über Bowie und den Rest weiß, wir aber das eine oder andere Mal vor einem Rätsel stehen.

    Der Comic ist Hardcover, ca. Din-A-4, und gut verarbeitet. Er fällt also nicht sofort nach dem Lesen auseinander.
