frasersimons 's review for:
The Eternaut
by Francisco Solano Lopez, Héctor Germán Oesterheld
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this, and though it segues into a dystopia and becomes very war/military fiction, I enjoyed it quite a lot more than I expected, despite this departure. I thought it would be some weird super hero origin story from the late 50s in Argentina; to some degree, I suppose it is. But it’s a lot more in common with classic science fiction than that. And it has a lot of grounded combat with a resistance against, of all things, aliens. It kept me guessing constantly and ended pretty abruptly, but poignantly.
In the end it’s just neat to see the development of comics in another country, too.
