Description
“Towards 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…” So begins this exciting version of Wells’ science fiction of the Martian invasion of Earth, told through the experiences of an ordinary man.
Classics Illustrated tells this thrilling 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, offering the reader the ability to further explore Wells’ terrifying tale.
