Printed media:
articles and interviews
These interviews are important because, although Oesterheld was well resepcted within the the the realm of comics, neither he nor The Eternaut were well known outside that circle during his lifetime. As a result, very few journalists bothered to interview him, and thus press articles that record his words are few and far between. Futher interviews with his family and close associates featured on this page provide valuable insights into his life and work.
This page covers the following people:
- Héctor Oesterheld (scriptwriter)
- Solano López (illustrator)
- Elsa Sánchez de Oesterheld (the author´s wife and survivor)
- Nelly Oesterheld (hermana de HGO) (the author´s sister)

All of these interviews were discovered over many years of tireless work and research by Mariano Chinelli, a pioneer and expert on the life and work of Oesterheld. Some are still linked from his formidable ArchivoHGO, but many have gradually vanished from the web. That is why I have been collecting them from their original sources. The credit for having found them belongs entirely to Mariano.

Interviews with Francisco Solano López
Interviews with Elsa Sánchez de Oesterheld
Elsa´s testimony is important because she was the lone survivor after his husband (the author of The Eternaut) as well as their four daughters were kidnapped and murdered by the military junta during the 1970s.
