Synopsis "Evaristo (in Spanish)"

una de las grandes obras del género noir al fin en su edición definitiva e inédita a finales de los 50, La delincuencia Argentina salta a la primera plana de los diarios de sucesos con la irrupción de un puñado de bandas criminales que instauraron en el país una época de pánico, violencia e inseguridad. Esta edad dorada del hampa Argentina se recuerda también por la presencia en las calles de un raro ejemplar de policía: el legendario Evaristo Meneses, apodado el Eliot Ness argentino. ≪ Br> evaristo es una joya del género policial, a la altura del nestor Burma de tarde o the Spirit de will Eisner. Sus páginas despliegan un amplio abanico delictivo que abarca el robo, el secuestro, el homicidio, la trata de blancas, la suplantación, el asesinato serial o el crimen político. Inflexible y pertinaz, Evaristo sigue el rastro del criminal allá donde le lleve, sea una villa miseria, sea la despide de un despacho oficial. ≪ Br> En cada historia, el prestigioso guionista Carlos sampayo y Solano López, el reconocido dibujante de < el Eternauta, cambiar de asunto y de estrategia narrativa. El conjunto forma un rompecabezas del que emerge una imagen matizada, precisa y llena de contrastes: la de una época, una ciudad y el conjunto de sus gentes.

Francisco Solano López (Buenos Aires, 1928 – 2011) was an Argentine comic artist known for his detailed and expressive style. He began his career in 1953 with Perico y Guillermina and collaborated with writers like Héctor Germán Oesterheld on works such as El Eternauta (1957–1959), Ernie Pike (1957–1959), and Rolo, the Adoptive Martian (1957–1958). During his exile in Spain and Brazil in the 70s and 80s, he continued his artistic production, including the series Ana and Sad Stories. Upon returning to Argentina, he resumed El Eternauta with new issues like The Repentant World (1997) and The Return (2001–2010), in collaboration with Pablo Maiztegui

His most emblematic work, El Eternauta, is considered one of the most influential comics in Spanish-language graphic literature. The 2015 US edition received three nominations at the Eisner Awards and won in the category of Best Archival Collection/Project—Strips. In 2008, he was declared an Outstanding Personality of Culture by the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires. His legacy endures as a reference in Argentine and Latin American comics.
