One of the most influential science-fiction novels ever written, H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds is brought to cinematic life in this graphic novel. A modernized adaptation told from the viewpoint of a small group of New Yorkers, it will resonate with today's readers, just as the original galvanized its audience over a century ago. Written by Stephen Stern, writer/creator of the cult comic-book, Zen Intergalactic Ninja, and illustrated by Arne Starr, longtime Star Trek artist for DC Comics, with a cover by legendary artist Frank Brunner.
