Information
pencil and ink on thin cardboard
52 x 36,5 cm
Original comic art made by Lopez for his masterpiece "The Eternaut", published for the first time in the supplement of the periodical Hora Cero Semanal n. 23 in 1957. Page 85 of the saga created by Héctor Oesterheld, which has become one of the milestones of modern comics. A page of great pathos where a handful of soldiers prepare to attack the alien invader and where the two protagonists Franco and Favalli make us reflect on the tragic situation of the human race. A metaphor and tragic forerunner of the Argentine political situation that would soon lead to dictatorship, The Eternaut has become a symbol of civil revolt and intellectual independence, which cost its author his life when in April 1977 Oesterheld was taken by a Death Squad, thus becoming part of the large group of Argentine desaparecidos. Slight creases.
