Government officials found the political themes in Oesterheld’s very popular comics — among them, the graphic biography of revolutionary “Che” Guevara that Oesterheld had penned with Argentine father-and-son artists Alberto and Enrique Breccia — cause for punishment. They yanked it out of circulation and destroyed the book’s printing plates.A Post-Apocalyptic Graphic Novel by a “Disappeared” Argentinian WriterI am so looking forward to getting this from my Library -- source link
