Here's a couple of different takes on H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds.
The one of the left is a Classics Illustrated cover from around 1955 by Lou Cameron. I love the choice of perspective and the design of the Martian tripods.
The right-hand illustration is from a 1927 issue of Amazing Stories, in which Wells' novel was reprinted. Frank R. Paul really gives you a sense of the butt-whipping the Martains were giving the human race. Paul's tripod design is pretty cool as well.
Have you heard the 1978 rock opera of The War of the Worlds? It's on Spotify.
ReplyDeleteYes. It's a favorite of mine.
