El Eternauta, Daytripper, and Beyond

Graphic Narrative in Argentina and Brazil

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the evolution of graphic narrative in Argentina and Brazil, highlighting the significant impact of Héctor Oesterheld's El Eternauta, which emerged in the 1980s as a response to Argentina's military dictatorship. This work serves as a cultural touchstone, symbolizing resistance against tyranny through its extraterrestrial invasion narrative. In contrast, Brazil's graphic narratives, such as Daytripper by Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá, address contemporary issues of modernity and identity, reflecting the country’s journey post-democracy and the complexities of its society.
