The fables devised by HG Wells (1866-1946), one of the fathers, perhaps the most notable, of science fiction, have shown over time to maintain a vigor and touch some springs of the human unconscious that have often raised them to icons of the modern world. 'The war of the worlds' (1898), an exciting story that narrates the invasion of Earth by the Martians and that for the first time involved the irruption of beings from other planets in ours, largely marked the fantasy of the 20th century and opened a vein -that of men's contact with extraterrestrial beings- that soon became one of the most important in science fiction, serving as inspiration to many later artists in the fields of radio, cinema, literature, comics and television
