14 fingers in each hand.
And they made use of all of them.

It helps that they don't appear in too many panels. That, and the fact that the artist is really good. Such an imagination.
There is a recent TV adaptation. It is very good, but it loses most of the magic of the original. The dreamlike atmosphere, the solitude, the mystery, the bizarreness of it all... simply they are not there.
It is the big masterpiece of Argentinian comics for a reason.
