About the series
A sprawling, globe-trotting adventure comic from NBM Publishing, The Mercenary ran for eight issues between 1988 and 1999. The series follows a lone, unnamed mercenary through a violent, often surreal world, blending stark black-and-white art with a dense, philosophical narrative. Primarily written and drawn by Vicente Segrelles, the book is a cult classic of European-influenced American comics, known for its epic scope and painterly, detailed visuals. It stands as a distinctive, self-contained epic that rewards patient readers with its atmospheric, slow-burn storytelling.
