Amazing Fantasy

In 2008, an anonymous donor bequeathed the Library of Congress the original 24 pages of Ditko art for Amazing Fantasy #15, including Spider-Man's debut and the stories "The Bell-Ringer", "Man in the Mummy Case", and "There Are Martians Among Us".

Go Home

Go Home River, a river in west central Ontario that flows west from Go Home Lake

Godzilla vs. Biollante

In the 1996 film Mars Attacks! a scene from this film is seen by the Martians.

Heinlein juveniles

The Mars of several of the books (Red Planet, Between Planets, The Rolling Stones, and Time for the Stars) has indigenous, intelligent (even dangerous) life, but not necessarily the same Martians in each book.

Jemm

During his run on Martian Manhunter, John Ostrander used these similarities to explain that the Saturnians were a race created by and modelled on the Martians.

Mars Attacks Judge Dredd

IDW had run a series of Mars Attacks! variant covers on their titles to promote a January 2013 crossover, one of which was their Judge Dredd ongoing: one of the Martians being menaced by Dredd, drawn by Greg Staples.

Mars: The Home Front

The concept of the Martians of Wells and Burroughs coexisting (and fighting) on the same fictional Mars was also used in Larry Niven's 1999 novel Rainbow Mars and briefly indicated in Ian Edginton's 2006 comic Scarlet Traces: The Great Game.

Martians, Go Home

In 1990, director David Odell adapted the novel into a movie of the same name with Randy Quaid playing the title character renamed to Mark Deveraux.

Nothing Ever Happens

Its commentary relates to how oblivious most of us are to the world around us e.g. "the Martians could land in the car park and no one would care" but in its last line before the chorus becomes suddenly cynical..."they'll burn down the Synagogues at six o'clock and we'll all go along like before," which is a reference to Kristallnacht.

Sir Harold of Zodanga

He regards Carter as something of a blowhard, claiming impossible prowess in battle, and Ulysses Paxton, the other earthman resident on Barsoom, as a rabble-rouser, advocating Terran ideas of equality and freedom unwelcome to the hierarchical, slave-owning Martians.

Skrull

In Amalgam Comics, the Skrulls are the native inhabitants of Mars (having crossed DC's Green Martians with the Skrulls).

Superman: War of the Worlds

Three weeks later, Superman is held captive by the Martians, who are being helped by a now-bald Luthor after a Heat-Ray burned off all of his hair.

To Mars and Providence

As a side effect, some Martians developed the capability to engage in astral projection, and made contact with the other two races of the system: Humans on Earth, and a "fungoid race" on a distant planet.

Howard mentions cylinders landing in London, Paris, St. Louis, and Texas (referring to other stories from Global Dispatches) and also mentions the irony of Martians landing in Providence's Italian section when it was Giovanni Schiaparelli who discovered the Martian canals.
