I had already built a model of a Martian warmachine as it is depicted in the Classics Illustrated comic book when a rock-opera version of the story gave me the idea for a more ambitious model project. In more recent years, The War of the Worlds was transformed into television and comic book series.Īs a scale modeler, I saw the potential for interesting modeling projects based on The War of the Worlds. In the early '50s, George Pal's movie version of The War of the Worlds updated it to that time and moved it to America, but kept the essential story of the human race helpless before a seemingly invincible foe. Orson Welles made history of a sort when his "Mercury Theater of the Air" radio production of The War of the Worlds caused panic among some of his listeners. It's enduring story has been translated into many media. Well's novel, The War of the Worlds, is a classic of science fiction literature.
