In the early 1990s, Caliber launched three new imprints, Gauntlet and Iconografix. Gauntlet was an action-based line whose leading titles were "U.N. Force", "Berzerker" (featuring work from Rob Liefeld and Angel Medina), Patrick Zircher's "Samurai Seven", and "Serpent Rising" (based on the stage play). Iconografix dealt with more obscure and cutting-edge material that included humor comics as well as comics often referred to as the "slice of life." Included here were the first issues of Ed Brubaker's "Lowlife", "Meatcake" from Dame Darcy, "Bound & Gagged" from Michael Aushenker, and a number of projects from Dave Cooper, Jason Lutes, and Matt Howarth.
