內容簡介 WINNER 2016 Eisner Award for Best Archival Collection Project--StripsA gathering of neighbors in suburban Buenos Aires is interrupted by an eerie, phosphorescent snowfall. When those outside exposed to the "snow" start dropping dead, it becomes clear that the harmless-looking "snow" reflects the vanguard of an alien invasion, and a story of survival, cunning, and armed struggle against them unfurls. Written by the Argentine author Héctor Germán Oesterheld -- who opposed the military junta in the late '70s, and was disappeared, along with his daughters, in 1977 -- and drawn by Francisco Solano López in an appropriately pulpy, representational style. The story, originally serialized from 1957 to 1959, holds a mirror to Argentine politics, reflecting an era of paranoia, military juntas, and Cold War geopolitics. Encounter the gripping tale that remains a symbol of resistance in Latin America to this day.
