The Eternaut by Héctor Germán Oesterheld & Francisco Solano López

May 13, 2025|In General

The Eternaut originated as a science-fiction comic strip and was first published in Argentina as El Eternauta beginning in 1959.

Its Wikipedia entry is a good place to start for background info. Fantagraphics released a collection of the strips in English, and it’s been adapted into a Netflix series which is how I learned about it recently.

Here’s one page of the strip in two different colour versions.

Colour by me.
