The comic that cost this writer his life

Another top notch episode, please keep going.

Meanwhile, I checked out 3 different issues from Marvel and DC and all 3 opened up with pillow talk couples - One of which they chose to make into a gay man (Alan Green Lantern).
Comics needing to grow up has never been more of a pressing matter than nowadays.

What a beautiful and amazing story, thanks man!
Wow, hopefully I get to read these full series one day!

I’m Cuban American & knew of Oesterheld because my grandpa collected comics. Netflix is making a live action version (I believe this year) & I’m sure your video will get millions of views.

Thank you. This is an amazing story.

I looked up The Eternaut and apparantly Netflix is making an adaptation of it. I can't wait for it to come out and then get cancelled prematurely

i wrote my dissertation on mort cinder in 2004, though my focus was breccia not osterheld. had to learn spanish to do so, too. lovely to see you take a pass at this. never forget the disappeared.

Here in Italy, Argentina's comic are published in specific magazines: Skorpio amd Lanciostory, almost from 70s. The Eternaut was published in Lanciostory with a different layout of the panels.

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!

Oesterheld was my entry door to the comic books world. It's really sad, not only the way his life ended but the fact that the same extreme right people that he fought through his comics are now back in power by the vote of the people

Amazing video as always. Your videos are so well written and produced, keep up the great work.

Bro was being hunted by a literal evil wizard. That's wild

This was a great video. Thank you

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

To keep hearing people say 'comics are a low medium' still to this day saddens me. It's like not acknowledging comics have made an important impact in society throughout decades.

Eternaut mentioned, comment offered to the algorithm

Most of the comic art of the 60s I’ve seen is mostly from American superhero and humor comics. The art from those comics looks very different from what I expected of comic art of the time, but in a good way. Those stories look beautiful and I hope they can get translated and given a wider release someday.

What happened in Argentina will happen in the United States when Trump takes over. Death Squad’s and people disappearances. Just wait for it.

EL ETERNATURA MENTIONED!!!

VAMOS LOS PIBEEES!!!

the comments section of every matttt video: "Who is this guy? Where did he come from‽"

matttt: "As you guys probably know, I value my privacy."

Well played 👏

Huh, The Eternaut...been meaning to read my copy of the book for a while...probably gonna read it this summer, ,been saving it for a special occasion.

Wow, You are a treasure! ❤

Got a lump in my throat towards the end.

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.

A hero. I would love to see a charity, scholarship, endowment, social action org, or award or something named after this guy that seeks out creators who continue his legacy. He needs to be remembered in some way as a true justice hero.

Never read his stuff, but the talent (and that of the artists) shines through. Especially for the time period. Let's be honest, that art work was decades ahead of it's time. That being said...... Creating a work that elevates Che Guevara? The idiot cult of personality around that monster infuriates me. Considering the era and oppression around Oesterheld and the propaganda around Che, one can look past it. Great video.... Will definitely check out his available work.

God bless

Argentina has been the craddle of the most popular cartoonist, comic book artist and writers from all spanish speaking latinamerica...

Amazing video! This would make a fantastic movie. Would love to see you do so video on Steve Ditko or jack Kirby.

Keep up the great content!

Incredible human being. I've never heard of him but thanks to you I will look into his works. I wish he had emigrated to safety. He could have continued to make his comics and fight the injustices happening in his country.

Gracias por este video.

sometimes separating the artist from the art can be difficult - celebrating the life of a mass murderer - stinky che -- I might look at some of his other stuff though

US backed by the way

*Osterheld fights a dictatorship, sees his family killed, he got kidnaped, tortured and excecuted and his body is never recovered.
Nik: But... but... My Gaturro statue! You're harrassing me but we are more! T_T
(Great video, sorry for the dark joke, if someday you will do another one about a comic artist, please cover the Gaturro phenomena. ^^)

It's funny how the fascist attack Che for his crimes but yet, their own crimes are over the top insanely worse and over a much longer time period. As far as I know, Che never killed any innocent artist either.

You make excellent videos. Well done.

GREAT content,learned about a truly great artist and a history lesson about Argentina.The murders of all 4 of his daughters is really shocking and horrible TRULY tragic.

Ver lo que sea sobre el Eternauta me pone la piel de gallina. I read this comic during the pandemic, and oh boy thats a trip

Thanks. Goode Review in all areas. Saludos desde Buenos Aires

increíble! tus videos son impresionantes, matttt!

I commend you for your work, this is a great video, although i don't agree with the praising of this guy who sacrificed his entire family for political extremism, was it worth it at the end? No political message are worth sacrificing your family for and he didn't regret it even on the end, he failed to protect his family and he was given many chances to do so this should have been called out.

This would make an amazing movie.

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.

Anyone interested in a white ford falcon in order to make an antifascist film that makes it a star in a superhero movie called "Falcon Fights Fascists"?

Thank you for your effort! Great video as always!

MATTTT! MATTTT! MATTTT! Always making the videos i look forward to the most 🙌🙌🙌
