Ray Bradbury Comics: Martian Chronicles

In 1994, Topps Comics and Byron Preiss adapted Ray Bradbury’s classic The Martian Chronicles into a single-issue comic, with the author himself co-writing alongside James Van Hise. Illustrated by Del Barras, this graphic-novel-style release brought Bradbury’s poetic, melancholic vision of humanity’s colonization of Mars to the paneled page. Though brief, it stands as a faithful, authorized rendering of a cornerstone of science fiction, offering a visual entry point into Bradbury’s haunting tales of Earth’s expansion into the cosmos.
