I stand corrected, anytime,(but am a tad confused..so help me out there, or I'll dispatch the orangapoid to ring your doorbell this Halloween).
Yeah..seems W.O.W. was indeed broadcast over radio by Orson Welles Halloween of 1938. Seems several write-ups I came across tied FG Mars into this, but what Rick indicates makes sense... and, I just checked a couple of solid sites, one by a Judy Harris re her FG Mars commentary, and another on a site EOFFTV re Timelines.
Harris indicates the serial was considerably edited and re-released under title Mars Attacks the World in the wake of the notariety of Orson Welles' W.O.W. radio broadcast. The EOFFTV site shows Timelines of copyrights for Feb thru April of 1938. So, the Halloween W.O.W. broadcast was some time after copyright grants. OK..and it would seem logical that writing etc would have been earlier.

Hmm...my curiousity has piqued now...as to how/who/why etc our FG hero/team wound up on Mars at all? Coincidence? W.O.W. script leaks maybe? I recall write-ups/reviews where some commentators talk of W.O.W. influencing the FG Mars serial.
It is Halloween today, I will now impersonate Boris Karloff's Frankenstein monster (you guys apply the voiceover/accents)...."Friend! Friend?"...any further ideas/comments why FG was placed on Mars? Maybe to meet John Carter? or little green men...grrr...drink, goooood!

I stand even MORE corrected by the time sequence.
Was there any other things martian going on while the FGTTM project and script were in development?

I'm spookin' myself out in a way looking on websites about this...W.O.W. literally and figuratively might have been deeper than thought! Perhaps complex; maybe disturbing.. unless I'm reading too much into this, but I'm gonna ease up on it. If your interested, keep in mind Hitler in Europe about that time. Also, possibly conspiracy theories here and maybe cover ups. If you're game, type in Orson Welles War of the Worlds in a search engine, and go surfing. Be sure to check stuff in Wikipedia, especially following:
