Depiction of Mars in Fictional Works, Part V

This is the fifth part of a nine part series. In this series, I will discuss how Mars is depicted in various fictional works such as movies, books, and games.

In Part V, I will discuss about the depiction of Martians in a novel by Fredric Brown. The author took on a different view of the Martian invaders. Martians, Go Home depicts them as little green men with long, fragile limbs, small torsos, and big, bald heads. These Martians didn’t want to invade Earth, but they did spend their time criticizing and making fun of the local Earth inhabitants; they were considered as annoying pests.
