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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow Titan Comics will bring a brand-new visual interpretation to the graphic novel medium, adapted by comic book writer Dan Watters (\u003ci\u003eThe Shadow, Assassin's Creed, Lucifer, Cowboy Bebop\u003c\/i\u003e) and illustrated by artist Dev Pramanik (\u003ci\u003eParadiso, Firefly, Dune: House Atreides\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Fell to Earth\u003c\/i\u003e 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.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47599699624172,"sku":"9781787737013","price":69.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3d69cb3c2e04bdb372a048dc5eeb87df.jpg?v=1778021833","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-man-who-fell-to-earth-by-dan-watter-9781787737013","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
