The David Bowie song “Space Oddity” probably shouldn’t have been made into a children’s book: The haunting 1969 track about an astronaut who loses contact with Earth to float around the universe would probably give most kids nightmares.
That didn’t stop illustrator Andrew Kolb from turning the space-rock song into an illustrated book. As seen in the gallery above, the artist lays down Bowie’s hit about a spaceman in a “tin can” line by line. It was an odyssey Kolb said wasn’t as easy as one might imagine.
'Space Oddity' by David Bowie (1969)
and let me just throw this in...
'Major Tom' by Peter Schilling (1983) [the English version, a tribute to 'Space Oddity']
I have this (and the German version) on tape. :)
