Sabre

Don McGregor and Paul Gulacy launched Sabre in 1978 as a landmark for Eclipse Comics, a pioneering creator-owned series that helped define the early independent comics movement. Set in a dystopian future, it follows a renegade hero's quest for freedom, blending McGregor's dense, poetic scripting with Gulacy's lush, cinematic artwork. Though it initially ran just one issue, its influence on the direct market and creator rights endures.
