Summary It has been fifty years since the adventures of Juan Salvo were first published in the science fiction comic El Eternauta. Some time in 1957, Argentine writer Héctor Germán Oesterheld created a highly metaphorical and political graphic novel. El Eternauta introduced a new way of understanding comic strips: it transcended the limits of mere escapism to become an adult and politically committed story. And to this day, the comic book continues to surprise thousands of readers and artists all over the world.. THE ETERNAUTA'S WIFE follows Elsa Sánchez, Oesterheld's widow. The daughter of immigrants from Galicia, her life is evidence of the cruelty of Argentina's repressive dictatorship, which took the lives of her husband, their four daughters and their respective husbands. The presence of Oesterheld's political inclinations in his work, which included a severe criticism against the social and political situation in Argentina, was the perfect excuse to start this story of brutality.
