Description

In 1894, across space, this earth was being watched by envious eyes, and plans were being drawn up for an attack. What seems to be a meteorite falls to earth, but from the debris, unfolds terrifying alien life... A young man called Leon records his observations and sketches. 'Those who have never seen Martian life can scarcely imagine the horror' - he tells us. 'Even at this first glimpse, I was overcome with fear and dread. The earth stood still as we watched, almost unable to move ...' In a full colour, graphic novel retelling of the classic, Chris Mould depicts the arrival of these giant martians that tower over woods and cities, seemingly ungainly at first, but then horrifyingly efficient when they begin to attack... As war descends, Leon and his scientist wife race against the clock to discover the science behind these martians in the hopes of ending this war of all worlds.

Author Biography:

Chris Mould has illustrated the gamut from picture books and young fiction, to theatre posters and satirical cartoons. As well as writing his own fiction and illustrating Ted Hughes' The Iron Man to much critical success, he has teamed up with author Matt Haig for the bestselling A Boy Called Christmas, A Girl Who Saved Christmas, Father Christmas and Me and The Truth Pixie. He lives in Yorkshire with his wife, has two grown-up daughters, and when he's not drawing and writing, you'll find him . . . actually, he's never not drawing or writing. H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was an English novelist, journalist, sociologist and historian best known for his classic science fiction novels The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds and his comic novels Tono-Bungay and The History of Mr. Polly.
