He wrote and drew a collection of faith-based comic strips beginning in the late 1980s for [[Tzivos Hashem]], the [[Lubavitch]] children's organization, and ''Moshiach Times'' magazine. The stories, "The Adventures of Yaakov and Isaac", were based on biblical references but were not Bible stories.<ref name="Lambiek" />

Kubert made a return to writing and drawing in 1991 with the Abraham Stone graphic novel ''Country Mouse, City Rat'' for [[Malibu Comics]]' Platinum Editions. He returned to the character for two more stories, ''Radix Malorum'' and ''The Revolution'' published by [[Epic Comics]] in 1995.

Also for Epic Comics, he delivered the four-issue ''Tor'' miniseries in 1993. ''[[Fax from Sarajevo]]'', initially released as a 207-page hardcover book in 1996<ref>{{cite book|last = Kubert|first = Joe|title = Fax from Sarajevo|publisher = [[Dark Horse Comics]]|year = 1996|location = Milwaukie, Oregon|pages = [https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781569711439/page/207 207]|isbn = 978-1569711439|url = https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781569711439/page/207}}</ref> and two years later as a 224-page [[Trade paperback (comics)|trade paperback]] was published by [[Dark Horse Comics]].<ref>{{cite book|last = Kubert|first = Joe|title = Fax from Sarajevo|publisher = Dark Horse Comics|year = 1998|location = Milwaukie, Oregon|pages = [https://archive.org/details/faxfromsarajevo00joek/page/224 224]|isbn = 978-1569713464|url = https://archive.org/details/faxfromsarajevo00joek/page/224}}</ref> The non-fiction book originated as a series of faxes from European comics agent [[Ervin Rustemagić]] during the [[Army of Republika Srpska|Serbian]] [[siege of Sarajevo]]. Rustemagić and his family, whose home and possessions in suburban [[Dobrinja]] were destroyed, spent two-and-a-half years in a ruined building, communicating with the outside world via [[fax]] when they could. Friend and client Kubert was one recipient. Collaborating long-distance, they collected Rustemagić's account of life during wartime, with Kubert and editor Bob Cooper turning the raw faxes into a somber comics tale.

Kubert drew the first issue of [[Stan Lee]]'s ''[[Just Imagine...]]'' limited series (2001)<ref>{{harvnb|Cowsill|2010|loc="2000s"|p=300}}: "The series consisted of thirteen prestige format books and started with Batman, drawn by art legend Joe Kubert."</ref> and two pencil-illustrated [[graphic novel]]s, ''Yossel: April 19, 1943'' (2003) and ''Jew Gangster'' (2005), for IBooks. In 2003, Kubert returned to the Sgt. Rock character, illustrating ''Sgt. Rock: Between Hell and a Hard Place'', a hardcover graphic novel written by [[Brian Azzarello]].<ref>{{cite book|last1 = Azzarello|first1 = Brian|author-link = Brian Azzarello|last2 = Kubert|first2 = Joe|title = Sgt.
