Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Mark Hazzard: Merc was a comic book series published by Marvel Comics under their New Universe imprint. The series ran for twelve issues in 1986 and 1987, plus one Annual, which ended the series. Mark Hazzard's father was a career soldier who was very demanding of Mark; although Mark was generally very successful academically and as a football player, his father was perpetually disappointed in him for not being "the best." In high school, Mark met and fell in love with his future wife, Joan. After graduating from high school, he went to West Point, where he was a cadet officer. Fed up with his father's disapproval-notably his disapproval of Joan-Mark dropped out, got married, and enlisted in the United States Army.
