Vida del Che (English: 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] It was immediately banned by the dictatorship self-styled as "Argentine Revolution" (1966-1973) and the whole edition was kidnapped.[2] The original drawings were saved by Enrique Breccia, and it was finally republished in 2008.[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]
