The two team up, outwitting aliens, solving seemingly-supernatural crimes, and investigating cursed objects. These episodic adventures, ranging from SF to horror to mystery, ran concurrently with Oesterheld’s legendary comics serial \u003ci\u003eThe Eternaut\u003c\/i\u003e, and set the stage for their masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eMort Cinder\u003c\/i\u003e.

His career began in the 1940s, during the golden age of Argentine comics. From 1962–1964, he drew \u003ci\u003eMort Cinder\u003c\/i\u003e, written by Héctor Germán Oesterheld, which is considered a masterpiece of the form. He took a break from comics to teach and co-found the interdisciplinary art school IDA (Instituto de directores de Arte) but returned in 1968 to draw graphic biographies of Che Guevara and Eva Perón, and a reboot of Oesterheld’s seminal 1959 graphic novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Eternaut\u003c\/i\u003e. Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s — when Argentina suffered under a series of military dictatorships — and beyond, Breccia drew serialized comics for the European market, working with and adapting writers such as Poe, Lovecraft, Borges, Trillo, Sasturain, and many others. In 2021, he was inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHéctor Germán Oesterheld (HGO)\u003c\/b\u003e (born July 23, 1919; \"disappeared\" by the military and presumed dead 1977), was a pioneering Argentine graphic novel and comics writer.
