Darkhorse.com have a wonderful comic version of "The War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells. They appear to have kept very close to the original text and I love their rendering of the Martians. Great stuff!
The comic does appear to have been slightly influenced by that Jeff Wayne chappy though - I'm sure that in the original the tripods called out "Ulla", rather than the more musical "Ooolaaa!"

Starship Dimensions
Starship Dimensions is a beautiful site that contains hundreds of scale drawings of Science-Fiction space craft - from Serenity to the Dyson Sphere. I hate to recommend using IE, but hitting the site with that browser allows you to pick up the ships and drag them around, making it easy to compare the relative sizes of Moya and Station V from 2001, for example.
A great site to just browse and marvel at the drawings, but also a priceless resource to help win those alcohol-fueled arguments over whether Godzilla would fit inside a Cardassian Keldon starship.
