Nov. '86 - Mark Hazzard: Merc # 1

Another of the New Universe launch titles, this one had no fantastic elements in it at all. Mark Hazzard was a mercenary for hire. He ignored all the people and events in his life except for his job. His mother had disowned him, he was divorced, and his son had gotten used to him never being around. All that mattered to him was his missions.

This comic was written by Peter David and the artist was Gray Morrow. Of the eight New Universe titles I would probably rate it third. I never bought beyond the first issue when it first came out but would be tempted now to pick it up if I saw it in the 50 cent bins at comic shows.
