Mars Attacks is a science fiction trading card series released in 1962. The cards feature artwork by science-fiction artists Wallace Wood and Norman Saunders and tell the story of the invasion of Earth by cruel, hideous Martians, under the command of a corrupt Martian government who wishes to conceal the information from their race that Mars is doomed to explode and proposes a colonization of Earth. The cards depicted futuristic battle scenes and bizarre methods of Martian attack, torture and slaughter, as well as various Earth nations being attacked.

And now, as presented in this, IDW Mars Attacks series, the Martian Invasion has been renewed and the War has begun! More overwhelming than ever before, the Martian Invasion Force brutally attacks… with one goal in mind… total annihilation!

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, It would take him a half-century, but Martian General Zar would finally have his revenge. He’d see the Humans suffer. Their civilization crumble. The entire planet Earth in ruin…
