Lady Sabre
& The Pirates of the Ineffable Aether is a webcomic created by Eisner Award
winners Rick Burchett (The Batman and Robin Adventures, The Superman
Adventures, Blackhawk, She-Hulk) and Greg Rucka (Whiteout, Stumptown, The
Punisher, Detective Comics, Queen & Country, Alpha). Rick
handles the beautiful art and Greg provides the story and the words. The whole
work is overseen by editor, designer, and web-guru Eric Newsom.
Lady Sabre's world is one of danger, adventure, and
deception, filled with clockwork monstrosities, dire magic, and noble hearts. It
is a world flavored by Victorian England and late 19th century Europe and the
Old West. It is a world of cannon fire and steel meeting steel, brass gears
meshing seamlessly with steam-driven pistons, a world of passion and humor and
a dash of romance.
As for Rick and Greg, they met many a year ago while
working for DC Comics, putting the Dark Knight through his paces atop the roofs
of Gotham. A long friendship was born in the discovery that they shared many of
the same passions in comics and novels and movies. They loved westerns, pulps,
steampunk, sci-fi, serials, you name it, they dug it. Very early on, they
decided they needed a place to tell stories all their own, full of the glee and
joy that infused so many of their shared influences. Ultimately, they created
the Lady Sabre webcomic as a means to that end, a way to pursue the characters
and stories they wanted to tell, without restraint or censure.
