Summary: Definately never leave a wounded animal to die
Review: As a long time Mike Grell fan (since Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes), it was great to see Iron Mike cross over into fiction. While Jon Sable Freelance was very successful as a comic, it did not fare as well on TV, so I was wary of what a novel would pose. I found this not just a novelization of the events in the early issues of J.S. Freelance, but a story well told in its own regards. Mike does a fantastic job conveying the emotions of Sable and gives new depth to characters we have enjoyed elsewhere (and is allowed to present them in a more adult oriented way). The best part is, Mike leaves the door open for more novels and I hope he continues to do them.

Summary: A Damn Fine Read
Review: I used to gobble up everything Mike Grell produced in comic format. Jon Sable Freelance was always one of my favorites. Grell's characters and story are engaging. His prose is as vivid as his drawings and reading this book I realize just how much I miss Jon Sable. Mike please give us more in novel or comic format. Either is fine by me.

Summary: SABLE IS CLASSIC ACTION/ADVENTURE EPIC!!
Review: It was a real honor for me to read a childhood comic book artist turned author Mike Grell.
I was extremely impressed with SABLE. You can actually feel the love Mr. Grell has for the Tarzan epics as well as some Mickey Spillane-type books and movies.
SABLE read like an awesome old-fashioned adventure movie with the gritty feel of an epic novel that should grace the bookshelves with other legends such as Burroughs and the like.
SABLE himself was written as an extremely complex character with more than one side of him revealed.
I hope that Mike Grell is writing another novel because he is way too talented to just stick to being an awesome artist. His storytelling ability was superb in SABLE.
The action/adventure areas were written so very well that you couldn't help but be drawn to this savage world and it's experiences.
Thanks Mike Grell for a spectacular read!
