REBEL REBEL is my online weekly comics biography of David Bowie's entire life. I began preparing the project in 2015 and have been uploading an episode per week since early 2016. Currently, I have reached the 343rd episode and I'm at mid-1967 of David's life. It's a quite meticulously researched biography and I use quotes by David and his peers to narrate the story itself. Unlike most biographies, it focuses on obscure moments from Bowie's life that shaped his later career and way of thinking—from his stint at the Buddhist monastery to his brother Terry's issues. It takes a lot of my time and resources to create, which is why I have a Patreon to help support the project - https://patreon.com/conchrisoulis Supporters of the project can read every episode week by week, have access to previous episodes and receive printed collected editions of the comic. So far I have printed and posted 7 collections.
My previous project, which was uploaded online like Rebel Rebel, was Tales of The Smiths, about Morrissey and the band The Smiths. It was published worldwide in 2018 by Omnibus Press. I hope you can check it out and help this lifelong endeavour to visually dramatise David's entire life.
