After a couple retrospective ranting episodes, Wits’ End is back to its regular one-one-one conversation format. Cartoonist Pete Doree makes his return to Wits’ End. He talks to host Shah Emami about the Don McGregor’s legendary SABRE series from Eclipse Comics.

SABRE, released as the first direct market graphic novel in 1978, follows a revolutionary in an futuristic authoritarian America. This “future”, taking place in 2020, is filled to the brim with violence, corruption, a virus & the swashbuckling Sabre’s endless fight for freedom and individuality.

During the 14-issue run, McGregor is joined by powerful artists like Paul Gulacy, Billy Graham (aka: “The Irreverent One”), & Jose Ortiz.

In this episode, Shah and Pete do a deep dive on Sabre, talk about the importance of Jack Kirby and the rights of creators, Pete’s STAN & JACK comic, pet peeves with social media & a lot more.
