Original 'war Of The World' Drawings Expected To Fetch Huge Sum At Auction

"If the drawings created for the 1906 edition of H.G. Wells' iconic science-fiction novel "The War of the Worlds" are any indication, it would be really, really bad. Just scroll down for a look.

The originals of the illustrations, created by Brazilian artist Henrique Alvim Corrêa, are to be auctioned off in Beverly Hills, Calif. on May 14. But if you're interested in bidding, get set for some sticker shock; the entire collection, which includes 31 pencil and ink drawings plus a vintage poster and a postcard from Wells to Corrêa, is expected to fetch a staggering $500,000, according to a spokesman for the auction house."
