MEDIA REVIEWS
"A classic tale about an alien who is used and corrupted by the worst elements of human society,The Man Who Fell to Earth is a memorable graphic novel whose cautionary notes still ring true." - Foreword Reviews"Roeg's cult classic is more influential on comics than even most classic comics. It's a joy to see it interpreted by two of comics smartest new creators. Absolutely unearthly." - Kieron Gillen
