About the series
In this Dutch fantasy series from Arboris, the lone mercenary known only as the Rented Sword roams a brutal, prehistoric world of sword and sorcery. Writer-artist Vicente Segrelles crafted each of the 13 issues as a painted visual feast, with lush, detailed artwork carrying the silent, cinematic storytelling. Spanning two decades from 1984 to 2004, De Huurling stands as a singular European achievement in the fantasy comic genre, driven entirely by one creator's uncompromising vision.
