About the series
Hugo Pratt and Héctor Oesterheld’s Ernie Pike is a taut, humanistic war comic series published by Glénat from 1979 to 1981, spanning three issues. Based on Oesterheld’s original Argentine stories, it follows the titular war correspondent through World War II battlefields, focusing on the quiet courage and moral weight of ordinary soldiers rather than spectacle. Pratt’s stark, expressive black-and-white art lends a documentary gravity to every panel, making this a landmark in European war comics for its unflinching, anti-heroic perspective.
