Héctor G. Oesterheld is the author of The Eternaut; he was a prominent Argentine comics writer and was killed by the Argentine military regime. Alberto Breccia was an influential Argentine comics artist known for his black-and-white work and died in 1993.

Mort Cinder is presented as a visionary, noir-tinged graphic work combining Oesterheld's introspective scripting with Breccia's dramatic black-and-white painting. The review praises Breccia's lighting and framing while noting occasional verbose, didactic passages. Overall, a compelling, influential comic to read in one sitting.

For:Readers of classic comics, fans of noir and horror graphic novels, students of comic art

 A visionary nightmare story, scripted like a true noir that at times descends into horror, telling the tale of a meek and cowardly little man (Ezra Winston, which Breccia used as inspiration by creating a sort of older version of himself!) who, despite his will, becomes a hero to conceal the sensational discovery of a man neither dead nor alive (Mort Cinder) who has lived for thousands of years, escaping capture over the centuries by mysterious men with lead eyes (hence the title).
