    1. Vicente Segrelles has done some cover paintings for several comic magazines (mostly Skywald's horror magazines Nightmare and Psycho, but also covers for Marvel's Monsters Unleashed and Warren's Creepy), but "The Mercenary" appears to be the main focus of his career. (Apart from the Mercenary story that was serialized in Heavy Metal, he's done several "Mercenary" graphic novels...according to the Grand Comics Database, there were 8 Mercenary graphic novels from US publisher NBM between 1985 and 1999. He may have done more stories that were published in Europe but haven't been reprinted in the US.)
