This title included daily comics in the magazine Misterix, full graphic novels in Super Misterix and adaptations in the format of novels published by Editorial Frontera. Promoted as “the scientific comic” and of wide success in sales in the midst of the golden age of argentinian comic books, this source material offers a privileged opportunity to study the construction and circulation of ideas, motives and popular images regarding the advances, discussions, myths and “mysteries” of science and technology in mid twentieth century Argentina. The academic background of Oesterheld, as well as his experience in scientific popularization, enabled him to successfully join these instances of the social imagery with the logics of the entertainment industry. El presente trabajo buscará describir y analizar los imaginarios científico-técnicos presentes en los guiones de Héctor Germán Oesterheld para la serie Bull Rockett. La misma incluyó historietas en episodios continuados en la revista Misterix, historietas completas en Super Misterix y adaptaciones noveladas de dichas aventuras publicadas por la Editorial Frontera. Promocionada como “la historieta científica” y de amplio éxito de ventas en plena “edad de oro” de la historieta argentina, esta fuente ofrece una oportunidad privilegiada para indagar sobre la construcción y circulación de ideas, motivos e imágenes populares sobre los adelantos, polémicas, mitos y “misterios” científicos y tecnológicos de mediados del siglo XX argentino. La formación académica de Oesterheld, así como su experiencia en la divulgación científica, le permitieron compatibilizar exitosamente estas instancias de diálogo con el imaginario técnico popular y las lógicas de la industria del entretenimiento.
