Hey Matttt, how you doing man! I wanted to reach out to leave a request, you see I adore your videos, in fact, I REALLY love your videos. I don’t like RUclips much cause I watch it way too much and feel guilty I could be doing anything else, but when I watch your stuff I really don’t get that at all, it’s like I’m watching a studio quality tv show, but on RUclips, it’s insane man. So I was wondering, if you were to ever dive into the world of manga, a world that not only I, but a lot of other people are a bit more familiar with than comics (not to say no one knows comics or that manga is better, just that nowadays i think alot of people read manga a bit more than comics) i highly recommend a video on the creator of Chainsaw Man, Tatsuki Fujimoto! His stuff is genuinely jaw dropping, and has a disgusting brilliance to the worlds and stories he does, it is insane. if not, then i would really love a hellboy video, because the movie is a favorite of mine and seeing not only how it came to be, but the differences of the movie and comic would be awesome. Im writing this at 5:17 am, so sorry if i rushed or didn't give enough detail, but i just wanted to leave a message to one of my favorite channels right now. keep on creating matttt 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Hey bro, not sure why but your vids are like hidden or considered low content or something because i NEVER get shown your vids and been subscribes for many months. Maybe try to do some visibility tests, u have good content
@@venomtanghe didn't see this. I gave it the first thumb. His content is amazing. No idea why they'd hide it.
@@venomtangI mean he hasn't seen your message, I guess.
@@howsitvingoing2048 I don't mean hide as much as I mean don't promote to the subs, and maybe others, as much as they should.
Also I don't hit the bell because my backlog is already too overwhelming, but when good things pop up and i have time in that moment I'll watch it then
I'm a comic creator from Argentina. This report you just made is excellent. I applaud your work and will follow all your videos. Greetings from Argentina.
i think this guy might be from Argentina....
che erés argentino?
Soy de buenos aires, tenes algo publicado que se pueda conseguir?
No I have to take a few items as well as the compressor..... it will take a while to get everything free to get it out and then I would have to put everything back..... just come on your day off but early enough
Yo voy a Buenos Aires a finales de este año, es más fácil conseguir los libros de Oesterheld allá que aquí en los Estados Unidos???
I´m argentinian and a cartoonist. I grew up with these stories and every time i hear someone talk about them i feel the pain again as if it was the first time
I’m Cuban American & our grandparents risked their lives fleeing Castro. My grandpa collected comics & had these. He would also get emotional looking at them. I hope Argentina’s future is bright 🙏 ❤
@@scarletsletter4466 thanks a lot ❤
I am an Englishman, living in Britain. I am curious, how much freedom do you have in Argentina now? Can you buy copies of Eternaut in your country today?
@@ashroskell oh yes for sure. We have lived in democracy since 83... and in a constant state of crisis too
Do your comics also espouse communist ideology?
It is so refreshing to see an English-speaking chanel talking about an Argentinian comic book creator, especially one as beloved as Osterheld. Apparently the live action adaptation of The Eternaut comes out this year in Netflix so that was good timing.
Hopefully that means a reprint of the volume from 2015.
Yeah I don't care about a live action remake, give us the reprint.
@@blufudgecrispyrice8528 well, that falls on american publishers, not the creators or the rights holders.
The book is well in print here in Argentina, there's no problem to get it.
@@Lomaxxx53 Oh, nice. I'll try to import it in the future. What are your personal favs?
@@blufudgecrispyrice8528 favs of argentinian comics?
Well, most aren't translated but:
La Sudestada
Parque Chas
Mort Cinder
Lovecraft x Breccia
Poncho fue
Naftalina
El Sueñero
El Castillo Rojo
Pesadillas (by Mazzitelli and Alcatena)
Manta
Cayetano
One comic book that he was writing when he was taken by the military junta, and thus will remain forever incomplete, is "La Guerra de los Antartes" which translates as "The War of the Antarticans" the story takes place "in the near future" and is about an Alien mothership landing on Antartica and using it as a launching point to attack humanity and demand its surrender. After all of the nuclear payload of both the USSR and the USA fail to make a dent on the Antartican's base (the name that the humans give the aliens because they landed on Antartica), the world surrenders. However, there is a twist, the Aliens do not want ALL of Earth, just one continent, and are willing to let everyone else live if the world simply looks away to whatever they do in that one continent. Also, they promise that they will share some of their technology, not all of it, with the USA and the USSR, ensuing that they will remain powerful nations. Both the USA and the USSR agree to this, and the Antarticans announce that South America will be the continent they will take. The world agrees (some countries under protest, like African nations, oppose this, but a threat of being invaded by the USA if they don't stop complaining and vote in favor of the Antarticans taking South America makes them change their mind). The comic doesn't end, and just leaves us in how the Antarticans are attacking and killing everyone they find in South America, while the whole world watches and doesn't care. It was quite a powerful piece of work.
Oh, I didn't knew about this one and i'm argentinian, I'll check it out.
Ohh I'm Argentinian and didn't know about this one. Definitely will see if I can get it somewhere!
So, the history of imperialism or the last 6-7 months during which the Gazan genocide by Israel went down without sufficient resistance. Sounds like a more apocalyptic (in the lawful evil sense) alternative to The Say the Earth Stood Still. So rather than aliens saying that if Earth doesn't shape up and disarm globally, they are all gonna die to protect the universe against human beings barbarism. Instead, it's a not too unrealistic or inaccurate representation of much of human history, at least, those of the nations of the powerful.
That sounds really cool, what is the title of it?
Edit: I’m a lobotomite, he literally said it at the beginning
The theme of South america being surrendered by the rest of the world to an alien invading force was already touched in an Eternaut re-version with art by Alberto Breccia. (1969).
Most of us would have immediately renounced in his situation, but Oesterheld continued to show the World his unique art no matter what until it cost him his life.
He shall NEVER be forgotten
He portrayed Che as a hero. In reality, Che was deeply misogynist, homophobic, a coward in battle, and a violent sadist in his dealings with underlings and adversaries. You are "never forgetting" some really sick and twisted stuff.
@@Stevie-J Way to take one work out of context to justify smearing the artist.
@@Stevie-J
I totally agree that the Che was a POS. However, you must take in mind that these works weren't made by the Che, but by someone completely unrelated to him who simply thought due to the circumstances of the time that he was a hero. You can still enjoy his works even if you don't agree with him. For example, I am fiercely anti-communist and yet I LOVE Soviet cinema
@@Stevie-JReality is complicated, you as an American only consume the propaganda of your country and probably see yourself as heroes of the world. But people from places like Lao, Vietnam or Latin American country that suffer dictatorship due to American influence may have a very different perspective on your country or a figure like Che.
@@Stevie-JTrue or not, it has no bearing on the original comment other than to derail it from the important point that was made. It doesn’t matter what the piece was; as sad as it is to admit most of us probably would take a more covert (cowardly) course of action regardless of our beliefs if in the same situation; forget publishing anonymously - most likely would have never taken the job whether you were pro or con. Remember, he wasn’t even a Marxist.
The fact that his whole family was wiped out before they capture him made this the most tragic story ever told and it should never ever be forgotten
Only his wife and two grandsons were left alive.
@@DayanaGuevara-bp6qm It's good to know he had some family survived, but I can't begin to imaging the hurt they had endured.
Play commie games win commie prizes
Believe it or not, in argentina we just elected a president that denies the killings of the last military dictatorship.
US government funded a lot of those coups too. We still do it today all the time. It's pretty fucked up.
Were it only the USA that is up to shenanigans like underreported wars in far off corners of the globe - to us but to those who have their homes there it must be hell. All Americans are not like that but everytime anyone comes along who has a real shot at making long lasting change - they get really shot! That or smeared and litigated into the dirt - Trumps like an old gladiator with insider knowledge of the corruption he could make real policy change - while everyones disracted the senate draw blades from their cloaks with the name Drumpf written in Sharpie marker
In south america it was operation condor, just CIA being the fucking bogeyman of cold war, not to say that KGB was any better.
Obscene is what it is. and now the authoritarian fascism Murica has pushed on others coming home to roost.
This doesn't get talked about enough.
"The globalists via the CIA funded a lot of those coups too. They still do it today all the time. It's pretty fucked up." Fixed it for ya.
Argentina really has some amazing comic creators. I am just now starting to learn about many of them; Breccia, Quino, Mordillo, and now Oesterheld. As a non-Argentinian I feel like I’ve been introduced to a whole new world of comics.
You should check Juanungo, Diego Agrimbau, Dolores Alcatena (her father too, he's a legend who has worked on DC and Marvel). Not sure about Dolores but both Juanungo and Agrimbau broke out in Europe already so they work must be in english.
And how could I forget about the Muñoz-Sampayo duo, creators of Alack Sinner, top 10 of the best comic books ever made (so plagiarized by american authors).
@@RockoEstalon Also Mazzitelli and Alcatena, although I have no idea if their work is translated in english
Trillo, Altuna, Barreiro, Gimenez, and Risso all deserve a shout out
@@danielg.w5733 For sure. Ciudad is one of my favourite books.
i was raised in argentina. when i was a child i had a massive (it was as big as a newspaper) edition of el eternauta that i used to read every night. only when i became an adult i understood Oesterheld's significance. this has been incredibly moving, his story has to be told. as usual, amazing video. thank you so much for this.
the Deluxe Edition. Incredibly cumbersome.... but with some beatifull drafts and extra chapter. Bought it in Buenos Aires, during a visit... 23 years ago!
I have one of the first editions of the entire comic that they made in a single book. My grampa bought it when it came out and in the middle of the military government, a really dangerous thing to do, he gave it to me some time before he passed away.
It one of my most precious possessions I have and I love it
HOLY SHIT I CLICKED IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINA!!!!!
Are there any stories where nothing bad happens to a writer/artist? 😭
Most likely but come on that's boring lol
In this industry? Wrong place, wrong people.
I mean then again every artists has there ups and down. So an artists story where nothing of significance happens is just improbable .
Bob Kane?😂😂😂
Nope. Never. All artists are cursed.
Matttt doesn't miss! Thank you for spotlighting this tragic, soulful corner of the comic world.
Tbf it seems like every corner of the comic world is tragic
Too bad you don't have more videos. This is one of the best yt channels that I stumbled upon.
They're only getting started
Quality over quantity friend. I'm looking forward to Matttt's next project
I am a comic creator from Argentina, and Argentina is full of great comic artists and writers like Hector German Oesterheld and Francisco Solano Lopez, if you can please go read some of their creations because they are all aweasome!
puro zurdito trasnochado
As a Brazilian, I'm afraid that most of what I know about Argentina is limited to soccer achievements and a little bit about their economy and main exports. I had a very vague idea that they lived through coups and dictatorships (after all, here in South America, that's a shared experience), but I didn't know they went through this stuff specifically. I'm now very interested in reading more about this artist's work and their country's art and history.
Amazing video, thank you for the meticulous attention to detail and shining a light on our neighbors' history and legendary creator.
Thank you! I almost never find any discussion on oesterheld or breccia outside of argentina and uruguay. Even as a brazillian, it can be hard to find. I find it chilling that companies will always reprint american, european and japonese comics but give very few attention to everything else. There are fantastic stories, fantastic art and new genre bending themes that aren't explored simply because of where they where written. There is an extremely rich production here that bleeds into our history and humanity (or lack thereof). Again, thank you very much, it means the world to me!
Muito texto macaco
Do you have any recommendations from Brazil? As neighboring countries i feel we don't hear as much from your side. I can only recall Monica from my younger years (and a 90s Varig comic they gave you if you flew with them, lol).
@@PirataGalactico hey man. Here are some that come to mind
-Diomédes, a trilogia do acidente (Lourenço Muttareli)
-A caixa de areia, ou, Eu era dois no meu quintal (Lourenço Muttareli)
-Angola Janga (Marcelo D'Salete)
-Tungstênio (Marcelo Quintanilha)
-A noite cega dos palhaços mudos (Laerte)
-Borroughs (João Pinheiro)
-400 morcegos (Fábio Vermelho)
These are just some I could think of. If you cant find any of these in spanish or english, thats just lame. Would really strongly recommend every single of these, but especially "Diomédes, a trilogia do acidente". The beginning is good, the end is exceptional. Again, there are many more, all these authors have more books and almost all are fantastic. Good luck
@@leonmarquws Muito obrigado! Don't know much portuguese but i can benefit from the similiraries with spanish and Google translate, lol. Again, thank you!
@@PirataGalactico no hay de que! Buena suerte y espero que tengas la misma experiencia surrealista que tuve con estos cómics.
Whoa, this is staggering stuff to learn over my morning coffee. I've been immersed in comics all my life, but I had no inkling of what was going on in the South American comics scene. Oesterheld was a two-fisted, balls-out comics creator and visionary, and I feel lucky just to witness his story. Thanks so much for revealing him to us all.
The Netflix adaptation is coming, it is Argentinean too! It'd mean a lot if international people supported it
Greetings from Brazil! Oesterheld is one of my favorites of all time. His works have finally been published in Brazil as of recent. The Eternaut, Mort Cinder, Sherlock Time, Loco Sexton, and Che. Great video about one of the finest comic writers, who worked with some of the best comic artists (Breccia, Pratt, Solano Lopez).
One of the best channels for documentaries
Agreed.
Honestly without competition. It’s a “niche” topic but it’s executed beautifully. I put it up above Summoning Salt.
As an Argentinian comic book fan and artist, I couldn't be more grateful with the amount of respect and research youput into this video and your quick reviews of other Oesterheld titles besides El Eternauta, too. Keep doing what you're doing, it's absolutely fantastic work-- hands down the best comic book channel I've seen so far.
New Mattt video. Time to ignore all other responsibilities for a half an hour.
😂 couldn’t have said it any better
Spot on.
This video is amazing. I'm gonna read The Eternaut as soon as possible. Towards the end of the video, when the fate of the Oesterhelds is discussed, I felt sick. There's something so fascinating about seeing Hector's internal feelings about his family being translated into the final parts of The Eternaut
Thank you so much for this! As an argentinian, to hear the lifestory of Oesterheld told to the world, by channels like yours, or like Comic Tropes did some time ago, is something to be thankful.
Netflix is bringing “The Eternaut” to the world in a television show that’s being filmed in Argentina but will be in all languages 😀
Comic Tropes, otro gran canal de comics.
ojala algun día puedan hacer algo que no sea propaganda comunista, porque eso es toda la industria en argentina , en cine y tv tambien
Oestherheld is underrated Argentinian GOAT 🐐🐐🐐❤
In the middle of the first decade of the 2000s, I helped with information and graphic support with a book about Oesterheld thanks to Hernan Ostuni, a specialist in this author and one of those responsible for that edition. Quite an honor. Thanks for the video. Greetings from Chile.
Oesterheld is definitely one of the greatest writers of all times! So glad to live in Brasil and have a lot of Argentinian comics being released here.
I fondly recommend the TV series "Germán Últimas Viñetas", which narrates the last days of Oesterheld as a comic book writer, for a unexpected publisher.
The quality of your essays is astounding, you treat comics with a gravity hardly seen on youtube.
What do I know about Argentina... Evita, Peron... Falkland War...
I have never known things have been this dire there. This guy is a legend, man.
After Ché, Oesterheld and Breccia did a biography of Evita too.
malvinas brother, malvinas. and this country lived hardship over hardship, but we still are here and we don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon
@@falcon5232now you have a spirited new president, he can only help, yes? Latinos in the US like Milei & have high hopes for him
@@scarletsletter4466 pfft
@@scarletsletter4466 Milei is a very divisive figure, I do believe he can make a positive change after decades of corruption and stagnation, but I think he's not the best, just the least pathetic.
Another jaw-dropping story about an unfathomable devotion to art that I’ve never even heard of. Thank you for telling this amazing story and telling it so well. It’s a shame that his works aren’t more available in the U.S. I had no idea masterpieces like this were being produced so early in South America.
Thanks for the history lesson. My first time visiting Buenos Aires, I noticed the image from the Eternaut everywhere, and even saw the book in Kiosks, but never got a copy, because my Spanish simply wasn’t good enough. Finally got to read it just last year, thanks to a beautiful translated edition released by Fantagraphic here in the U.S. and it’s incredible! Heard there is a movie in the works, which would be very interesting if done right.
A Netflix series rather than a movie. Done by argentinians too but I also hope it's done right
@@Lomaxxx53 That’s a relief actually. The story lends itself much better to a long form format, and I like the fact that Argentinians are doing it, there are a lot of talented filmmakers in Argentina and it’s a shame more of their work doesn’t get released here.
🤩 wow wonderull video! i'm argentinian and a comic nerd and I grew up in the 90s on democraty times, reading and learning from all of Hectors comics, They are a fundamental part of our culture and history.
i'm so used to know and readn comic from thers contries, so i asumed it was reciprocrate. but when i found that El Eternauta and Mort Cynder it hasent have a englesh traslation in years, i fell sad, because they are MASTER PIECES and a wonderful read, so i hope that everybody has the oportunity to enjoyit.
Breccia is my favorite comic book artist! everyday, every read i learn something about drawing and sotrytelling from him
Netflix is making a live action television show of Oesterheld’s comics called “The Eternaut” which will be in all languages. It started filming in Buenos Aires last year 😀
Also don’t forget Spanish is the most common second language in the US & nearly 15% of us are Latino 😀
@@scarletsletter4466 😃✨ siii I'm so excited for this Netflix adaptation!!! 🥳🥳🌈✨
I knew a lot of people speak Spanish, but i didn't have any the numbers 🙂 know I Know
😊
I read Mortcinder in a library of a public school next to the provincial jail in Tucumán, Argentina some 15 years ago.. I had forgotten its name but i remembered Breccia's style. Thank you for bringing these memories back.
Man, you just keep level up the quality of these videos. When I get the part where the daughters suffered such a horrible end, I was truly in shock, I don´t undestand how Oesterheld keep working after that, it only shows how great he was.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry while watching this. Brazil also went through a ironclad dictatorship at the same period and we had our own champions working on subversive comics (mostly published on O Pasquim). Ziraldo, one of the greats, just left us last week.
Sabés si algo de eso se tradujo al español? O donde conseguir algo en portugués aunque sea acá en Argentina? Gracias!
@@gonarsan ¡Hola amigo! Creo que la obra no ha sido traducida, lamentablemente. Sin embargo, es posible acceder a todas las ediciones digitalizadas de Pasquim en la Fundação Biblioteca Nacional. Buena suerte en tu búsqueda
Thanks for the interest and sharing this piece of history Matttt. Here in Argentina we read El Eternauta at schools, that is the level of a fundamental classic for all ages that it is. Great video
I've never met anyone who was made to read eternauta in school 🤔
Soy del 99 y nunca leímos El Eternauta, pero bueno, vivi la secundaria en medio de la reforma educativa de Macri así que no me sorprende

I am from Colombia, and honestly, this story made me tear up. Thank you Matt for making me realize the beautiful and value of comics not only as entertainment but also as significant and deep works of literature.
Greetings to my Argentinian brothers and sisters.
Thank you so much for sharing his story. I read plenty of his comics while growing up (I’m Chilean).
If anyone happens to find any of his works in your own language, please read them! If authors like Alan Moore are celebrated for seminal works like Watchmen, be aware that Oesterheld was dropping Watchmen tier work pretty much every week. He was THAT good (no disrespect to mr Moore who I used simply as an example).
Your video broguht me to tears. So well written, so moving. When I started reading usa comics, my father, worried that I'd be influenced by their inner individualism, gave me the eternaut to compensate with a story about a group of people working together to survive. It changed my life. Thanks so much for this, you have a new follower.
This was a very beautiful documentary about Oesterheld. Chilling, heartbreaking, and inspiring.
I can't believe it's been almost a year since you began your RUclips journey. Looking forward to your video that marks your one year anniversary!
These stories are just amazing. The lives of these creators, the impact they had on contemporary world is simply breathtaking. Keep bringing your videos, I'll be eagerly waiting for the next one.
You're a goddamn beast, brother. I never would have known about Osterfield otherwise, but now I want to experience all of his work.
Thank you and your team. Your work matters.
I’m from Argentina and being honest with you I only knew Eternauta recently. Thanks for making this video
you lived in a termo, ameo. Bien por vos que ahora lo conoces. Buscá todo lo que puedas de Oesterheld, no tiene desperdicio.
@@gonarsan ajajaja bueno ahora cállate un poco
@@cristiannieto2146 no me callo nadaaaaaa jajaja
Gracias, gracias, gracias for this video. I am not argentinian, I am a Mexican, but I loved this comic book and now that I have learned more about it, and its end, it makes me wanna cry more. It's a heartfelt tribute you have made here. Felicidades.
Thank you so much Mattt for making this video. I am a follower of your channel from Argentina. This was a perfect recount of Oesterheld, Argentina's comics from mid-20th century, and Argentina history from that period. All mixed together in the best video about those topics made outside of Argentina I have seen.
When I started following your channel I always wondered if you would make a video about Argentine comics, but I always thought it impossible since they are not very well known in the US... But you made it happen. If you make another video related to Argentina, I would recommend Quino and Mafalda.
This video made me want to read Mort Cinder and El Eternauta again... luckily I have copies in my bookshelf.
y con la cantidad de cine que hacen, nunca han habido adaptaciones de estas historias, porque soy chileno, lector de comics y de historia y ahora como que Quino quedó en segundo lugar
@@Chalepastel dos grandes en igual medida, tanto artística como humanamente, solo que con diferentes enfoques y estilos en su arte. Cuando le preguntaron a Quino cómo sería Mafalda de adulta, él contestó "seguro sería una desaparecida". Abrazo.
One of the best videos about Oesterheld and his work. Thanks and greetings from Argentina
I love this. My dad had a copy of The Eternaut for the longest time and would read it to me over the years and eventually lend it to me.
He is certainly a figure I admire greatly, a shame most of what he wrote about was lost to newer generations under the censorship and propaganda campaign during and after the dictatorahips.
Just droping a comment here again.
As of today April 27, Hector German Oesterheld has been missing for 47 years since his abduction. We still do not know what became of him or where his body is buried.
Nunca más.
Another absolutely brilliant video essay. These stories are so gripping and you present them in such an amazing way!
One of my favorite comics, both versions. What a great writer, I love the artist as well. Love all of their work together and apart. Great video, I think this needs way more attention.
Another great video! Sux about the restriction, but I can safely say, this one must be your best one yet!
matttt you are the best comics channel on this platform. I’ve always loved comics, but I never really got much deeper than what super hero comics had to offer. You’ve introduced not only to so much dope reading material, you gave me such incredible insight into the minds that brought those works to life. Can’t wait for the next video!
You deserve more than you can possibly receive, astounding quality as usual.
Holy shit!!! Talking about Osterheld! Hell yeah! I'm from Brazil, not Argentina, but we love him here. Honestly, he's one of the goats in the whole world. More should know him
why am i crying , one of the best videoos i have ever watched his own story feels like a movie and also the way you present your videos is amazing
My new favourite channel, keep up the phenomenal work!
I served a Mormon mission in Burnos Aires during the resignation of Pres. De La Rua and and the difficult collapse of the Peso in 2001-2002. I love the Argentinian people. One area in which I lived had a large painted mural of this “Scuba Diver” guy, that I always found intriguing, and we walked pass it many times. Later, many years after I returned home, I learned that the scuba guy was from this very successful Argentine comic! Thanks for posting this!
Life is a loop, and right now we are in a collapse just the same like that, with a extreme right government making the same economic and social policies of that times.
Matttt, from the bottom of my and everyone's heart, thank you for these videos. They are way too good! Much love❤
This broke my heart.
Keep up the great and important work ❤
Im so happy more people will get to read the Eternauta for the first time. And Mort Cinder.
Matttt never disappoints you on reviting Comic Book history and stories of them, Bravo 🙏
Yet another excellent piece on the deep history of this art form. Excellent, as always!
This video is incredible, really glad you covered this topic as i would have never found it otherwise. Thank you matttt, and sorry the video got restricted
This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful videos I've ever watched.
I'd never heard of Oesterheld before, so thank you for introducing me to him and the sociopolitical conditions he worked through. I will be exploring his work after this.
Whatever you do, don't stop doing what you're doing. Your body of work legitimizes this medium more than any person I have met, past or present.
Your work on comic book artists and their stories is excellent. I look forward to every video you publish. Great work
Wow. Yet again, wow. Thank you for broadening my horizons.
This might be one of the best RUclips videos I’ve ever watched
I'm from Argentina and is great to see this video from you. I love how you treat the main theme.
Oesterheld and El Eternauta is really loved here. I had the pleasure to know the comic when I was on Highschool. It was part of our Literature Program and a lot of kids on a lot of Highschools read El Eternauta.
Thanks a lot for the respect and all the time you put on the video. ❤
''Mort Cinder'' is a true masterpiece and one of the best drawn things I ever saw, maybe even the greatest
Mort Cinder has this eerie atmosphere, i think it's because the drawings and the story work so incredibly well together. I still get the chills just by thinking about it.
It looks modern even now. Not enough credit given to the artist I feel in this video.
@@f.kieranfinney457 yea, I think the same. The focus was Oesterheld for obvious reasons but I think Breccia deserves his own video. Hopefully @matttt does something on him and other european/south american artists that deserve the praise and exposure to american audience
For years I was captivated by this story and I wanted to read Eternaut for a long time. There is no better way to learn more than by this chanel and holy shit this is like a christmas present for me
This must be your best video yet,Matttt.You did a really great job.
I know little of Argentinian except some Skorpio comics my aunt got me as a kid, this video was amazing it got teary eyed, thank you!!
L'eternauta is one of the best comics ever written, it's weird to me that it's not well known in the English speaking world, well done!
Thanks, Matttt! This introduces a part of world history and comic history I was previously unfamiliar with!
Bro as a Comic fan, i am sooo happy that i found this channel😊❤
The way you parallel the work with the lives of the artist in each video is incredible. Keep it up
I truly love how this channel highlights the power of comics. The art, the emotion, the depth of it all, and the humanity on the pages. As well as that of those who write and draw them.
I hope this channel keeps rising higher!
He put his work and art before his family, and got them killed. Amazing art tho, beautiful
His daughters joined an armed leftist group before he did, they were caught up in the craziness of the era. He should have tried to deter them rather then join though.
Very thankful for you making this video
