Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles
Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles: The Authorized Adaptation | Ray Bradbury
The Earthmen came by the handful, then the hundreds, then the millions. They swept aside the majestic, dying Martian civilization to build their homes, shopping malls, and cities. Mars began as a place of boundless hopes and dreams, a planet to replace an Earth sinking into waste and war. It became a canvas for mankinds follies and darkest desires. Ultimately, the Earthmen who came to conquer the red-gold planet awoke to discover themselves conquered by Mars. Lulled by its ancient enchantments, the Earthmen learned, at terrible cost, to overcome their own humanity. Rendered in gorgeous, full-color art by Dennis Calero, Ray Bradburys The Martian Chronicles: The Authorized Adaptation graphically translates fourteen of Bradburys famous interconnected science-fiction stories, turning an unforgettable vision of man and Mars into an unforgettable work of art.

Mixing poetry and science fiction wasn't such a bad idea. It's this book and Fahrenheit 451 that solidified Bradbury's reputation as a sci-fi author. He really didn't write that much of it. What he wrote, he wrote well, though. Modern exploration has long since made the Martian Chronicles rather implausible. But it's still a beautiful read.

I've read this before.

I post it because I picked it up for £2 in mint condition and I just love the cover. 😍

Currently having some lunch at a cafe with @LostInSpace and doing more book hunting! 😌👌

Zoes_Human I have two copies. My fancy copy that is an omnibus with The Illustrated Man and The Golden Apples of the Sun plus a vintage copy with a fantastic retro cover. Love your find! 4y

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 These stories touch on prejudice, colonization, loneliness, fear, family and so much more. It‘s only science fiction because well it‘s in Mars. But in reality, it‘s a much deeper look at the human condition. The writing, as always, is pure poetry. ♥️

Highly recommend and it‘s deeper than you think!

In anticipation of a potential relocation, I've been burning through a serious backlog of graphic novels. East of West Vol. 1 and Batman and Robin Vol. 1 were stellar. Skull Kickers Vol. 4 and Captain Marvel Vol. 2 were fun. Martian Chronicles was very underwhelming. Killing Pickman was intense and weird. The rest didn't leave much an impression.

I've been in the worst reading slump so I'm diving into some graphic novels to try to shake it. I found this one at the Dollar Tree, which is a crazy good deal!
