About this Collection

This trade paperback collects the earliest adventures of Killraven, a freedom fighter in a post-apocalyptic world where Martians have conquered Earth. The volume gathers material from Amazing Adventures #18-39 and Marvel Team-Up #45, showcasing the character's war against the alien invaders in a series inspired by H.G. Wells' classic novel. Written by Gerry Conway, Don McGregor, and others, with art by Neal Adams, P. Craig Russell, and more, this is a foundational collection of 1970s Marvel science fiction and adventure.

In "The War of the Worlds!", Spider-Man accidentally leaps from 1692 straight into the future, landing in a world already under Martian siege—where he must team up with the legendary Killraven to survive. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life with dynamic art by Sal Buscema, Mike Esposito, and Dave Hunt, this gripping tale sees the web-slinger fighting for survival in a war-torn Earth. The cover by John Romita and Mike Esposito captures the clash of worlds in striking detail.
