El Mercenario (English: The Mercenary ) is a science fiction comics series by the Spanish artist Vicente Segrelles, published beginning in 1980. An unusual feature for a comic book, every panel is painted in oil, a time-consuming technique. The series is known for the great attention paid to the depiction of landscapes. The Mercenary tells the story of a mysterious and anonymous mercenary from a hidden valley called The Country of the Clouds. In this secluded region, the human race develops a culture different from the rest of the world, all while confronting flying dragons, reptilian giants, monsters, Amazons, and other characters familiar from the world of heroic fantasy.

The world of Akbar is in danger. In ancient times, one of the gods, Ramor, rebelled against his peers, but was defeated and imprisoned inside a conch.

The sorcerer-princess Mara has found a way to prevent the god's resurrection and to bind him again to his prison.  To succeed during the incantation, however, she needs the legendary Time-Bird, a mythical beast able to control the flow of time. Mara sends her daughter, Pelisse to a past lover, Bragon, once a fearsome warrior, now a gray-haired lord of the manor, to convince the aging hero to embark on one last adventure in order to save the world of Akbar.
