Mark Sable is an American writer for stage, screen, and comic books.
Mark Sable is a writer for comics, film and television, best known for such creator-owned comics as Image Comics "Graveyard of Empires" and Boom! Studios "Unthinkable". Sable graduated cum laude with B.A. in English from Duke University, and received an M.F.A. in Dramatic Writing from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts as well as a J.D from The University of Southern California Law School.
Sable started his comic book career in 2005, writing Grounded for Image Comics. In 2007, Sable followed up Grounded with Fearless, also from Image. Co-written by Dave Roth and Illustrated by P. J. Holden, Fearless tells the story of a vigilante who is addicted to an anti-fear drug, which he needs not only to fight crime, but to function as a human being.
Also in 2007, Sable wrote "online graphic novels" for the TV show Heroes that ran on NBC's website. His first, two-part webcomic called "Blackout" featured the character Mohinder Suresh was illustrated by Jason Badower. He also wrote the two-part story "Faces", featuring new characters created by Sable for the "Heroes" universe and illustrated by Alitha Martinez and Micah Gunnell.
In 2008, Sable wrote Image comics' 'Hazed, an original graphic novel, illustrated by Robbi Rodriguez. Also in 2008, Sable began work in animation by creating the original pilot Polarity for Cartoon Network.
In May 2009 Sable released his comic book series "Unthinkable" from Boom! Studios. Unthinkable was based on true incidents after 9/11, when the Department of Homeland Security recruited novelists, filmmakers and other creative types to help envision worst-case terror scenarios. In Sable's fictionalized version of events, a writer's imaginary terror plots start coming true, and it's up to the protagonist to stop them while he himself is a suspect. In an incident that mirrored the plot of the comic, Sable was briefly detained at Los Angeles International Airport by TSA guards, who found the script for issue 3 of the series to be suspicious. After Mandalay Pictures optioned "Unthinkable" as a feature film in 2009, in 2013, 20th Century Fox and producer Howard Gordon ("24", "Homeland") gave Sable an unheard-of "put pilot" deal to develop "Unthinkable" for network
