Vida del Che (transl. Life of Che) is an Argentine biographical graphic novel written by Héctor Germán Oesterheld and illustrated by Alberto Breccia and Enrique Breccia.[1] The Historieta (comic book) narrates the life of the revolutionary Che Guevara from his childhood to his assassination in Bolivia. It was originally published as a book in Argentina in 1968, only three months after Che Guevara's death.[2] The illustrator Enrique Breccia, son of Alberto and equally famous in the field of the illustration, participated in the final stretch of the artwork, which was also his first comic.[2]
Vida del Che was immediately banned after its publication by the ruling military dictatorship at the time, self-styled as "Argentine Revolution" (1966–1973); the whole edition was seized and destroyed by the dictatorship.[2] Nevertheless, the original drawings were saved and hidden by Enrique Breccia, and it was finally republished in 2008.[2]
