Do not include information about the real life publishing date of ''War of the Worlds''.  It's confusing, since the DWU date is 1898, thanks to ''Invaders from Mars''.  It simply doesn't matter when the real world publishing date is.  Timeline page "behind the scenes" notes should not be used to "correct" the DWU-given dates of real historical events.
