I Racconti di Ernie Pike

Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Hugo Pratt, two giants of Argentine and Italian comics, collaborated on this war-themed series for Ivaldi Editore. Launched in 1983, I Racconti di Ernie Pike collects their powerful, humanistic short stories about a fictional war correspondent, originally published in the 1950s and '60s. Though the series itself consists of just one issue, it preserves some of the most celebrated work from Oesterheld's writing and Pratt's evocative, expressive art. This collection matters as a vital archive of their influential partnership and a poignant look at the cost of conflict.
