The best War Of the Worlds graphic novel
Ian Edginton and D'Israeli bring use H.G. Wells' The War Of The Worlds in graphic novel form. While abridged and adapted for this version it has lost nothing.

This review is from: H. G. Wells' The War Of The Worlds (Hardcover)
Ian Edginton and D'Israeli bring use H.G. Wells' The War Of The Worlds in graphic novel form. While abridged and adapted for this version it has lost nothing. It has all the adventure, horror and wonder, in full color. Their vision, their ideas on how the Martians looked, how the scenes developed and how the action scenes flowed. They kept the heart of the story yet gave it new life. A perfect gift for a sci-fi fan or just for oneself. A must for any fan of The War Of The Worlds or of H.G. Wells.

The result is a rather bland rendition of an exciting story, not unlike a Classics Illustrated.
