Is The Eternaut based on a book?

It is, in fact, based on Oesterheld’s Eisner Award-winning comic novel The Eternaut (El Eternauta), which was illustrated by Solano López. Before being released as a single book in 2015, the comics were released in installments between 1957 and 1959.

“[The Eternaut] was one of the first things I read in full in my life, when I was 10 years old,” Stagnaro told Netflix about the novel, one that holds cultural significance across Argentina. “My approach to the adaptation will be to be faithful to that child reader who came across the story for the first time, to try to reconstruct the genuine emotion of living an adventure on the corner of your neighborhood, and the construction of that great Argentine hero that is Juan Salvo.”
