Wonder how crazy that night really was? Was it really pandemonium? Or was the whole thing blown up out of proportion over time?
ReplyDeleteIt was blown out of proportion. Some people got fooled and some people panicked, but it was nowhere near the "mass" panic that the newspapers of the day printing.
ReplyDeleteWhich is kind of hilarious, as to think Wells also did Citizen Kane, which parts of were very much related to how newspapers tended to sensationalize stories.
This retelling is pretty matter of fact but the artist did get to draw some cool aliens!
