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 towards 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'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, offering the reader the ability to further explore Wells's terrifying tale. The Classics Illustrated comic book series began in 1941 with its first issue, Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers, and has since included over 200 classic tales released around the world. This new Vintage Replica hardback edition is part of a continuing effort to make Classics Illustrated available to all, be they young readers just beginning their journeys into the great world of classic literature, or collectors who have fond memories of this much loved comic book series.
