H. G. Wells is one of the greatest science fiction authors. One of his classics, The War of the Worlds, arrives on February 4 at Ki-oon, a publisher particularly active in the world of manga. This is not the first adaptation of this story. Remember, the movie with Tom Cruise, and the two recent series created by The BBC and Canal Plus. After Lovecraft (true reference in the fantastic register), place to H. G. Wells at Ki-oon. It will not be easy to transpose the particular universe developed by the author. The story draws its inspiration from a popular belief born at the end of the 19th century. The team at the helm of this ambitious project consists of Sai IHARA and Hitotsu YOKOSHIMA. They take up the important points of the book by allowing themselves a change of importance. The main protagonist is a photographer. The manga that ki-oon offers comes from the same magazine as the adaptations of Lovecraft by Gou TANABE in Japan. The volumes will be in this format, 15 * 21 cm. Covers are among the strengths of this new collection.
