1957ref. 230261957. ComicsPolitical ActivismLatin America Archive of four issues of Argentine anti-authoritarian sci-fi comic El Eternauta by Héctor Germán Oesterheld printed in Hora Cero anthologies 1957-58. El Eternauta is a foundational work of Latin American science fiction created by writer Héctor Germán Oesterheld and artist Francisco Solano López. The story begins in Buenos Aires where a mysterious lethal snowfall kills most of the population. The protagonist Juan Salvo and his friends survive by using makeshift protective suits to find others. They eventually join a resistance group fighting against the alien invaders. El Eternauta is a potent political allegory which explores themes of solidarity resistance and the threat of authoritarianism. Its social and political messaging is considered part of its enduring legacy.

The introduction i.e. in this work entitled "Advertisement" the translator Mr. Hurst cites two previous translations of Bede's History -- the first by Rev. Thos. Stapleton in 1565 which he says contains numerous obsolete and now 1814 "almost unintelligible". The second by Mr. John Stevens in 1723 he writes is "so literal as to appear in many places both very obscure and defective in the style." All in all Mr. Hurst claims ".this interesting and edifying history of the conversion of our own country to Christianity lies concealed from the knowledge of most people; who therefore are ignorant of the true nature of that religion which our ancestors professed."
