Sabre is a deliberate attempt to market a blacksploitation comic at the Heavy Metal reader. There was an 8-page excerpt that was okay – the art was a little stiff, even if it did have a heavy whiff of Jim Steranko. The marketing material is more interesting than the story (yet another post-apocalyptic setting).

The first image is the cover. Nice painting and great figure work. It’s a shame that the action is very stiff. The second image is the subscription form that was placed opposite Heilman on page 75.
