War of the Worlds
In the comments on my post about whether Michael Crichton is a science fiction writer, Ray Girvan mentioned H G Wells' The War of the Worlds. Coincidentally, I've just spent half an hour inspecting a terrific collection of covers from more than a hundred editions of the novel over the last century or so.
My three favourites (in no particular order) are: Vincent Di Fate's unused cover for Pocket Books in 1982, the rather elegant Eaton Press edition of 1984, and Chris Hopkins' view from afar as London gets trampled by the Martian War Machines.
