EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from H.G. Wells' classic science fiction novel, "The War of the Worlds," Brazilian illustrator Alvin Wyss Corrêa depicts a human figure intently observing a Martian fighting machine. Published for the first time in 1898, this haunting scene captures the sense of wonder and fear that gripped the world when the idea of extraterrestrial life became a reality in the pages of this groundbreaking novel. The human observer, with a determined expression on his face, carefully checks the Martian's hood (cap) to ensure that the being inside is indeed from Mars. The Martian, with its shadowy, menacing form and long, spindly limbs, creeps ominously in the background, its eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. The image perfectly encapsulates the sense of quiet observation and careful scrutiny that would be necessary in the face of an alien invasion. Corrêa's illustration is a testament to the enduring power of Wells' story, which continues to captivate and inspire generations of readers and filmmakers. The image invites us to imagine what it would be like to encounter an alien being for the first time, and to consider the implications of such an encounter for humanity. With its intricate details and atmospheric composition, this print invites us to step into the world of "The War of the Worlds" and to explore the wonders and terrors of the universe beyond our own.
