‘Nobody is saved alone.’ <i>El Eternauta/The Eternaut</i> (2025) and the Comeback of the Collective Hero

Abstract Adapting El Eternauta (1957-1959) by H. G. Oesterheld and F. Solano López for the screen is not only a tribute to the authors and the classic comic but it is also a cultural, social, and political commentary that focuses on the concept of the collective hero at a time when individualism and dehumanizing practices are alarmingly on the rise.
