Learned A LOT about Argentina's history from this, especially the fact that Britain and Spain fought over it (the seeds of the Falklands War in the 20th century) with the indigenous population not considering either of those 2 European colonial empires better or worse than the other.
I wonder if Milo Manara and Hugo Pratt were inspired to write this from Francois Bourgeon's "The Passengers of the Wind"?

Interesting combination of serious character-driven drama with outright pornography of the type that I thought went out of fashion after the 1970's but I guess it stayed popular in Italy well into the 1990's? Also shows an impressive level of attention to historical accuracy while we're at it.
