Due to popular demand, Fantagraphics has released an original comic inspired by the hit Netflix TV show The Eternaut back to print. The publisher does not specify a release date, but Fantagraphics suggests that new printing will arrive later this year and will open in advance soon.
Eternaut’s new print looks like the same Slipcase Edition that won the Eisner Award in 2016, but an additional feature from the Netflix logo has been added to the cover, which guides and picks up fans of the show. The book retails for $49.99.
Eternauta (El Eternauta) is widely considered a world-renowned comic classic with editions in multiple languages. Created by author Hector Jermern Oesterdo and artist Francisco Solano Lopez, the story follows a group of survivors in Buenos Aires following an alien invasion. Between 1957 and 1959, I ran as a strip in the Argentine weekly anthology Jora Cerro. The series was reinvented by the writer along with artist Alberto Breccia (The Eternaut 1969), and was later given an official follow-up of Lopez before being abused in his family, enslaved in 1977, among his family.
The surprising popularity of Bruno Stagnaro’s adaptation on Netflix may have caught publishers flat due to a surge in interest in the original comic. Many people took to social media to complain that when Netflix Adaptation debuted in April, the book was unable to physically buy.
In Argentina, the series was also an opportunity for NGOs to promote awareness about reunifying their pregnant mothers’ children.
While Eternaut is back in print, many related books have yet to be printed at publishers, including Alberto Breccia’s collaboration The Eternaut 1969 and Mort Cinder. If you’re lucky, you might see these resurfaces slower.
