Hello there,
Many of you who visit here have come to know I talk of things of both everyday type of happenstance and of course things of old times, mostly Science Fiction driven also I comment a lot on comics from time to time. In fact I wanna take you back to a time during world war II,or rather just before the mighty onslaught build up for the start of the united states shortly before entering the war on December 7th, 1941, there was a very distributing radio broadcast that as the title of this posting suggested had panic in every small city across this great nation of ours..... There is a great reason as to why this said radio program caused such chaos. Many hearing it had caught it right in the middle of the broadcast itself, which was broadcasted on October 30th, 1938. Many of the people who were listening were sure full of fear, for they heard it or rather saw it in their minds as a all too real invasion. What this unknown broadcast at the time was called many didn't know?, What it was though was "WAR OF THE WORLDS" based off of the novel written at that time forty years ago by H.G. Wells. It was preformed by someone I have brought up in the past here on the blog by the name of Orson Welles. I have two copies of this scary radio broadcast as seen here
, I happen to of gotten both of them from HASTINGS in my small part of the world. What is truly unique about this small production from the Mercury Theater On The Air which was, partly owned by CBS TV/radio company had two years later had the two men associated with it most that had only their names separated in spelling by one letter meet for a brief conversation on how well, Welles had did justice to H.G.'s greatest piece of work for any form of science fiction. For "War of the Worlds" was not only about a race of aliens coming to take over the planet earth and rule it, but it was the first ever that started stuff such as "Alien Nation"or the more common thing I talk about here known as "V".
