About this Collection

This collection reprints the complete run of Wally Wood's M.A.R.S. Patrol Total War, a gritty military sci-fi series originally published in the 1960s. Featuring Wood's signature detailed artwork, the stories follow a multinational military force defending Earth from alien threats. Dark Horse's 2004 edition gathers all the issues from the original series, offering fans a complete look at this cult classic.

"Target: America" sees the M.A.R.S. Patrol scrambling to contain a sudden, brutal invasion that strikes across the U.S., from Philadelphia to New York City. With no warning and no mercy, the alien attackers vanish after each assault—killing their own wounded before disappearing without a trace. Written by Leo Dorfman and illustrated by Wally Wood, with inks by Wood and letters by Ben Oda, this 2004 Dark Horse issue delivers a tense, high-stakes clash of tactics and survival. The cover by George Wilson captures the chaos of the attack in stark, dynamic detail.
