Classics Illustrated #1

This 2018 reprint from Classic Comic Store brings H. G. Wells' enduring invasion tale to life as Classics Illustrated No. 1, with Lou Cameron's vivid cover art depicting towering Martian tripods bearing down on a desperate group of soldiers scrambling amid scattered artillery shells and a wheeled cannon. The machine closest to the foreground looms largest, its beam weapon blazing downward while additional tripods stalk the fiery, smoke-choked horizon in the distance. It's a thrilling showcase of Cameron's dynamic illustrative work, and a wonderfully accessible way to experience Wells' story in comics form.
