War of the Worlds

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.
