El ETERNAUTA, by Hector German Oesterheld and Francisco Solano Lopez.
This is a very famous page, with the first break in the narrative grid in the whole Eternauta saga, offering a majestic image of the River Plate stadium, where the battle with the ‘cascarudos’ will take place.
The page appeared for the first time on the issue number 25 of Hora Cero Semanal, published by Editorial Frontera on 19 February 1958.
As it is the final page of an episode, the final label with the word ‘continuarà’ is also present.
The subject of the last panel was taken up as cover of the magazine.
