War Of The Worlds

The War of the Worlds is a novel written by H. G. Wells in 1898 depicting an alien invasion of the earth. Since then, The War of the Worlds has entered popular culture, with a vast number of books, films, TV series and comic books using themes from this book, whether acknowledged or not. Adaptations have tended to move the date of the invasion but the basic theme has remained the same.
