An atmospheric, apocalyptic allegory of political resistance from an Argentine comics master.
In the 1950s, pioneering comics writer Hctor Germn Oesterheld authored the serialized science-fiction adventure story The Eternaut, now a seminal Argentine graphic novel. In 1969, Oesterheld reimagined his classic narrative as a bold allegory of political resistance against the oppressive Argentine regime; Alberto Breccias expressionistic chiaroscuro style lends a chilling dimension to this apocalyptic tale.
In The Eternaut 1969, a deadly snow falls. Juan Salvos small household of family and friends are spared, protected inside his homebut what horror awaits them in the silent, deserted streets of Buenos Aires? Venturing out in search of supplies, our everyday heroes soon join the resistance against an enemy far more sinister than anything they could have imagined.
