THE MERCENARY 11: THE ESCAPE

This was the first volume in the Mercenary series that has been fully painted with computer tools, but Segrelles' images kept the plasticity and consistency he achieved with oil painting.
Epic fantasy with touches of science-fiction, more and more important in the connecting theme of the series, suggestive settings, fantastic animals and suspense come together again in one of the most popular Spanish comic book series in Europe.

Synopsis

The Mercenary and Ky come back to planet Geos in order to find the only remedy that can save the life of the Lama, who is seriously ill. They both know they must be careful with the mythological creatures that now pour out on to the planet without restriction, but their duty is not so difficult. They must find a quasi-human species that lives under the sea, called Aquos, and obtain an irradiated crystal. Surprisingly, the Aquos appear to have been waiting for them: the Mercenary and Ky are welcomed as their last chance of survival before the mythological creatures, that are killing their young people, spot their last shelter.

What should have been a quiet walk through Geos, now that the planet has recovered from its atmospheric disaster, becomes a time trial against inopportune setbacks, enormous beasts and wilful mythological creatures in order to save the defenceless Aquos in the short time of crossing of the two planets.
