References to adventures on Mars were made as early as the 2nd century AD by Lucian of Samosata.

Giovanni Schiaparelli came up with the notion of channels on mars in 1877. While his works were not Science Fiction he certainly started a vast amount of sf about mars.

Nicolas Camille Flammarion (26 February 1842-3 June 1925) wrote science fiction books. One La planète Mars was read by Percival Lowell that began his fascination with the planet.

Percival Lowell (1855-1916) founded an observatory in Flagstaff Arizonia and was the one that really started the modern interest in canals on mars. Again his works were not fiction and therefore cannot be considered sf but he promoted the huge interest began by Giovanni Schiaparelli.

H. G. Wells wrote 'War of the Worlds' in 1898, a sf classic that began the alien invasion sub-genera of sf.

In 1934 Stanley Weinbaum published 'A Martian Odyssey' which is considered a break-through in sf perceptions.
