Low – David Bowie's Berlin Years

Reinhard Kleist’s graphic biography Low – David Bowie's Berlin Years (2024–present, Carlsen Comics [DE]) explores the pivotal, creatively fertile period when David Bowie retreated to Berlin to reinvent himself. Through Kleist’s expressive art and storytelling, the series captures the making of the iconic “Berlin Trilogy” albums against the city’s divided, gritty backdrop. It matters as a focused, intimate portrait of an artist at a crossroads, rendered by a German cartoonist deeply connected to that cultural moment.
