Ernie Pike

A 2019 Italian hardcover from Rizzoli Libri collects the classic war stories of Ernie Pike, the intrepid war correspondent created by writer Héctor Germán Oesterheld and artist Hugo Pratt. Originally serialized in the 1950s and 1960s, this single volume gathers their most celebrated collaborations, showcasing Pratt's expressive, ink-washed art and Oesterheld's humanistic, anti-war narratives. The series matters as a landmark of Argentine comics and a key early work from two masters of the medium.
