The story is a rough adaptation of the H. G. Wells novel The War of the Worlds, but is primarily based on the Superman mythology. Wells' story is transported from early 20th-century Britain to 1938 Metropolis where the Martian invasion is met with a Golden Age Superman, who is not blessed with the full range of powers he has in modern times.

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or worlds:
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
“Between two worlds life hovers like a star,
‘Twixt night and morn, upon the horizon’s verge.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
