The Mercenary by Vincente Segrelles
Requirements: CBR Reader, 333 MB.
Overview: Vicente Segrelles was born in Barcelona (Spain) on September 9, 1940 during the postwar period after the Spanish Civil War. His childhood lapsed in a peculiar atmosphere: his father loved paintings and inventions, and his uncle, José Segrelles, had international prestige as illustrator and watercolorist. This atmosphere influenced his innate passion to drawing, to which he dedicated any free moment, and just inclined him towards illustration. Vicente Segrelles is a Catalan-Spanish comic book artist and writer. Segrelles gained popularity in Europe for his painted comic epos The Mercenary (El Mercenario), started in 1980. Set in a medieval fantasy world, El Mercenario follows the adventures of a mercenary in his fight against evil. Unusual for the craft of comic books, every panel of his work for this series—which reached 13 issues so far—is painted in oil, a time consuming process.
Segrelles was also the cover artist for the Italian science fiction magazine Urania from 1988 to 1991.
Genre: Comics, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Mature Reader.

The Mercenary / El Mercenario / Le Mercenaire
Entering the enormous mountainous zone in the centre of Asia, crossed by the great mountain range of the Himalayas, there is a series of mysterious and disquieting legends. The Yeti, the valley of Eternal Youth and the monastery where Universal Culture is kept are only a small part of the stories that are going the round.
One of these legends, perhaps the less known, talks about a peculiar country that existed hundreds of years ago. It was a vast valley completely surrounded by highest mountains, that contained a permanent cloud layer. Over this layer there were mountainous masses that excelled forming plateaus, valleys, rivers and an enormous lake. Some peaks that arose isolated looked like islands in the middle of a cottony and white sea. Its climate was not the glacial cold that corresponded to so high level, but warm and pleasant, without doubt regulated by the exceptional geologic configuration.
In this country of the heights bloomed a civilisation that had a surprising particularity: their inhabitants moved mounted in flying dragons. It seems to be that the freezing that motivated the disappearance of dinosaurs in the Earth did not affect this closed valley and flying reptiles evolved towards more perfect forms, being finally domesticated by the settlers of the country. These reptiles must have been presumably seen in different parts of the planet, rising medieval legends and numberless popular stories as much in East as in the West.
The inhabitants of the Country of Permanent Clouds had followed a parallel development in what respects to the rest of the terrestrial civilisations, and towards year one thousand of our Era is when we should locate the adventures of our hero, a fortune soldier known as " the Mercenary ".
