Based on the classic science fiction novel by Walter Tevis (The Queen' s Gambit, The Hustler), The Man Who Fell to Earth is the 1976 science fiction movie by STUDIOCANAL, directed by Nicolas Roeg and written by Paul Mayersberg. It stars David Bowie, Candy Clark, Buck Henry, and Rip Torn. The story follows an extra-terrestrial called Thomas Jerome Newton (played in the movie by David Bowie) who lands on Earth in search of water to save his dying home planet. Using his advanced scientific knowledge, Thomas becomes incredibly rich thanks to dozens of inventions his company releases. He uses his wealth to search for a way to transport water back to his home planet, but as his wealth and his fame grows, Thomas becomes a target of interest to the U. S. Government who begin to investigate him. Now Titan Comics will bring a brand-new visual interpretation to the graphic novel medium, adapted by comic book writer Dan Watters (The Shadow, Assassin' s Creed, Lucifer, Cowboy Bebop) and illustrated artist Dev Pramanik (Paradiso, Firefly, Dune: House Atreides). ' The Man Who Fell to Earth is a masterpiece of a film with an awful lot to say; about men, about the Earth, and lots of things in between,' said Dan Watters. ' 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. And now here we are. I think it' s high time to look at the world through Thomas Newton' s mismatched eyes all over again. Perhaps he' ll see something we' ve been missing. '
Dan Watters is a UK-based comic-book writer. His first book, LIMBO, was released through Image Comics in 2016. He has since written THE SHADOW for Dynamite Comics, and ASSASSIN' S CREED, WOLFENSTEIN and the 2022 smash-hit COWBOY BEBOP for Titan Comics. currently he is writing Arkham City: the Order of the World for DC Comics, and Home Sick Pilots for Image Comics. Dev Pramanik studied at the Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College. His first published work was on Nightbreedbreed #9-11. He went on to work on Vampire: The Masquerade, Paradiso and Firefly as well as working with Ram V on both Grafity' s Wall and Black Mumba.
