De huurling

Vicente Segrelles’s De Huurling (“The Mercenary”) is a lavishly painted fantasy series that launched in 1983 from Dutch publisher Oberon. Known for its single, self-contained issue, the story follows a lone warrior through a vividly rendered world of swords and sorcery, with Segrelles’s lush, cinematic artwork as its defining feature. Though brief in its original run, the series stands as a showcase of his distinctive painted style, influencing the European fantasy comic tradition.
