A Text Version of Argentina's Most Famous Comic Book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: El Eternauta: y otros cuentos de ciencia ficcion (Serie Oesterheld) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Note that this is NOT a graphic novel, but a novelization of "El Eternauta," Argentina's best-known comic book. This novel (entirely in Spanish) is by the original author, Héctor Germán Oesterheld. There are also a few illustrations which I believe are by Francisco Solano López, the original artist and illustrator. The story is about an alien invasion of Buenos Aires set around 1962 (the story first appeared in 1957.) Oesterheld and López had hoped that the story would be a pilot episode for a continuing series, but this never developed. There is also an alternative version, authored by Oesterheld with illustrations by Alberto Breccia. However Oesterheld continued the story in text form, which comprises the bulk of this book. Two later comic-book sequels appeared, one by Oesterheld himself, but they are not highly regarded. Oesterheld 'disappeared' in 1976: it is assumed he was executed as a presumed foe of the military dictatorship of the period.

Inolvidable,
By Salvador (Argentina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: El Eternauta: y otros cuentos de ciencia ficcion (Serie Oesterheld) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Oesterheld muestra en esta obra su enorme imaginacion y capacidad narrativa. Transmite desde su lugar y a traves de estas historias sus ideas en el contexto de un pais en sangrienta dictadura, terminando incluso desaparecido por el gobierno militar. Un libro inolvidable que merece un lugar en cualquier biblioteca.

By A Customer
This review is from: El Eternauta: y otros cuentos de ciencia ficcion (Serie Oesterheld) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
El eternauta is a great book about the conquer of the world by Aliens and the new tecnologies they bring with them. The hitory is based in Juan Salvo who's a man that's figting versus the aliens and the things that happens to him there's a sequel and a third book
