Vicente Segrelles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vicente Segrelles (born September 9, 1940) is a Catalan-Spanish comic book artist and writer.

He was born in Barcelona.

He gained popularity in Europe for his painted comic epos The Mercenary (El Mercenario), started in 1990. 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 tedious process.

Segrelles was also the cover artist for the Italian science fiction magazine Urania from 1988 to 1991.
