The Foreigner
Art by: Enrique Breccia
Written by: Eduardo Mazzitelli
This series was published in the Argentine magazine Skorpio and was republished in Argentina in 2022 by Deux Studio in a single volume.
It tells the story of El Extranjero (The Stranger), a defender of the human race who has protected and guided it since its emergence... and who, after a millennia-long slumber, awakens once again when a Final War threatens the planet. Only under his guidance will humanity have any chance of survival.
El Extranjero is not an existentialist story, nor does it pretend to be. It is a fable with doses of entertaining science fiction drawn by a master who knows how to challenge what we consider to be existence, time, destiny and origin.
ELIGIBLE FOR PROGRAMA SUR TRANSLATION SUPPORT (Argentina)
Key points:
A conceptual science fiction and adventure story, not an existentialist adaptation, which recounts adventures in a context of ultimate war and planetary survival
Breccia’s mastery is undeniable, with certain episodes rendered at an almost inexplicable level
