Sapphire

Barry Blair wrote and illustrated this short-lived, two-issue series from NBM, a moody character study set in a gritty urban landscape. The story follows its enigmatic title character through a dark, noir-infused narrative that showcases Blair's distinctive black-and-white artwork. Though brief, Sapphire stands as a notable example of early-2000s independent comics, capturing the creator's singular vision without the constraints of a larger universe.
