"Toward the end of the nineteenth century, several newspapers in England carried a small account of the discovery of a mass of flaming gas, chiefly hydrogen, originating on the planet Mars and moving with enormous speed toward the Earth. The news item, however, was so insignificant, that I, as well as the rest of the world ignored what proved to be one of the gravest dangers that ever threatened the human race..." Well's science fiction of the Martian invasion, told through the eyes of an ordinary man. Classics Illustrated tells this wonderful tale in colourful comic strip form, offering an excellent introduction for younger readers. This edition also includes a biography of H. G. Wells, theme discussions and study questions, which can be used both in the classroom and at home to further engage the reader in the work at hand.
This is Book 1 in the Classics Illustrated Series. See all Classics Illustrated books here.
