The lyrics from David Bowie's 1969 hit "Space Oddity" have been used as the text for a new (and rather scary) children's book by artist Andrew Kolb. For those who aren't familiar with Bowie's Major Tom; the song tells the story of a fictional astronaut (Major Tom) who becomes a celebrity on earth after being launched into space.

A PDF of the nearly 40 page book can be downloaded for free on Kolb's website - kolbisneat.com.
