The Red Planet in Fact & Fiction (mostly fiction!)

 

For centuries, we've wondered if life exists on the planet nearest us.

In fiction, we've traveled there, they've traveled here. It usually hasn't been pleasant for either side.

In fact, only our machines have traveled there. There's been no return visit from them...so far.

T-Shirts, mousepads, messenger bags, magnets, and many other tchochkes with a Martian theme!

Have a look at Martians in various forms...
Before J'onn Jonzz, the ManHunter from Mars came to Earth, we were visited by Martian superheroes Lars of Mars and Crusader from Mars, neither of whom was a little (or big) green man!
And, we gave the Red Planet John Hunter of the MarsMen aka Man O'Mars.

Good start on your lens, keep it up! Actually, we don't know if Martians have visited Earth or not -- microbial Martians that is. Who knows, maybe we started out as Martian microbes?

About BrittReid

When I'm not out fighting crime, I work in the publishing industry, writing and designing everything from magazines to trading cards to comic books! 

I'm constantly coming up with lenses about subjects I'm into...scifi/fantasy, Sherlock Holmes, the Old West, etc. (see the "other lenses" list!)

At the same time, I'm creating and selling stuff based on these topics that I would buy if someone else offered it, but nobody else does (When was the last time you saw a Purple Claw or Rocket Kelly shirt?), so I have to do it myself!

If you've landed here, you probably have at least one interest in common with me. Cool. Hopefully, you'll have a couple of laughs, learn a bit of trivia, and see something you've never seen before. When you're done, leave a comment, or better yet, tell your friends and then buy a magnet or something. Rocket Kelly's feeling decidedly unloved!  ;-)
