O'Barr's only work for Marvel, this silent 4-page story shows O'Barr's  interest in automobiles (he was formerly a mechanic) as well as his sense of dark humor- a dog hangs its head out the window and has the flesh burned off its face- then leans back in with a grim smile.

On Io, one of Jupiter's four moons, a battle rages between American grunts and an army of Russian soldiers in a contest of war turned sport.  Amongst the Americans are Top, Caddy, Petrol, Silo,Tiffany, Sally 7, and the cyborg Danzig.

After suffering casualties in an ambush, the unit takes on an
enemy force of superior size and lays waste to them.

Note: Danzig was later renamed Blixa (to avoid confusion with Glen Danzig, as the cyborg was originally named after the German city, not the singer) and added to
Gothik's roster, appearing in "Snake Dance"
In the first Caliber issue of Deadworld (previously published by Arrow Comics) the zombie apocalypse continues! A small group- including Dan, Donna, Joey, Mike and John- have been trying their best to survive the zombies and their leader, the intelligent King Zombie, and now find themselves facing the additional threat of of a paramilitary organization. The group's numbers have thinned over the course of their journey, and this installment is no exception with Mike (the unfortunate guy hanging from the helicopter) and John (the bloke with his throat ripped out) biting the dust in this issue.
                         
Note: O'Barr inked over regular artist and
Deadworld creator Vince Locke's pencils for this issue, with O'Barr's style noticably dominating. O'Barr would also contribute painted covers for Deadworld issues 10-14 & 16-17. For issue 10's credits, as well as some of the cover paintings, O'Barr used the alias Jonny Zero. "Jonny Zero" would later be used by O'Barr as one of Gothik's protaganists, with the character appearing in "Frame 137"
