"Increasingly creating an unusual mix of heroic fantasy and very high-tech sci-fi, this pioneering series in fully painted comic art launches boldly into the legend of Atlantis and brings The Mercenary, his companion-female warrior Nan-Tay and their new younger friend Ky on planet Earth in search of the mythical world which had scraped with the Mayas and the vicious Toltecs, still powers to be reckoned with."--Back cover

The Mercenary
Giants
From tackling a witch with great powers all the way into the gates of hell to seducing a tribe of war-hungry man hating amazons. The Mercenary has no dearth of challenges.
Roi de l'heroic fantasy, Segrelles trace des tableaux grandioses qui font de lui le chantre des aventures de ce guerrier imperturbable au sourire de marbre... Son dessin d'un grand réalisme n'empêche pourtant son imagination débridée de se déployer avec éclat et de nous emmener dans des mondes légendaires tous plus fabuleux les uns que les autres. Le Mercenaire a marqué de son empreinte l'histoire de la bande dessinée.
