The Eternaut by Francisco Solano López, Erica Mena, Héctor Germán Oesterheld
3.5
adventurous dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

For the time that this was written, it's amazing.
Looking at it through a contemporary lens, there are a lot of wasted panels and dialogue that don't contribute to the pacing, mood, or plot. It was just the way these stories were structured at the time. And there are some plot holes that annoyed my perfection seeking brain. But that's just me. I can see why it's a beloved story.
