Vida del Che


Vida del Che is an Argentine biographical graphic novel written by Héctor Germán Oesterheld and illustrated by Alberto Breccia and Enrique Breccia. The Historieta narrates the life of the revolutionary Che Guevara from his childhood to his assassination in Bolivia. It was originally published as a book in Argentina in 1968, only three months after Che Guevara's death. It was immediately banned by the dictatorship self-styled as "Argentine Revolution" and the whole edition was kidnapped. The original drawings were saved by Enrique Breccia, and it was finally republished in 2008.
The illustrator Enrique Breccia, son of Alberto and equally famous in the field of the illustration, participated in the final stretch of the artwork, which was also his first comic.
