Description20" x 15" image area. Ink over graphite on Bristol board. Lobo: Blazing Chain of Love #1 Pages 22 and 23 Two Page Spread Original Art (DC 1992). Keith Giffen and Denys Cowan.Lobo encounters a harem of sex-crazed love babes on an alien planet! Will he survive to finish the mission? This is the last main scene of the issue story before Lobo signs off. While this was normally not the type of comic art and genre I pursue, I thought the execution of the scene, and the style and techniques used by the artists, were remarkable! Notice Lobo's tranquilizer dart in each of the subdued womens' butt cheeks! Lobo is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by DC Comics. The Lobo character was created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, and first appeared in Omega Men #3 (June 1983). Lobo is an alien born on the utopian planet of Czarnia, and works as an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter. Lobo was first introduced as a hardened villain in the 1980s, but soon fell out of use with writers. He remained in limbo until his revival as an anti-hero biker with his own comic in the early 1990s. Writers attempted to use Lobo as a parody of the 1990s trend towards "grim and gritty" superhero stories, epitomized by such Marvel Comics characters as Cable, Wolverine, and Punisher, but he was instead enthusiastically accepted by fans of the trend. This popularity led to the character having a much higher profile in DC Comics stories from then on, as well as starring roles in various series in the decades since. The character enjoyed a short run as one of DC’s most popular characters throughout the 1990s. This version of Lobo was intended to be a satire of the Marvel Comics superhero Wolverine. In issue #41 of Deadpool, a separate Marvel series, Lobo was parodied as "Dirty Wolff", a large blue-skinned man who drove a demonic motorcycle. He was also parodied in the Image Comics series Bloodwulf and as "Bolo" in the Topps Comics series Satan's Six. In a 2006 interview, Keith Giffen said, "I have no idea why Lobo took off... I came up with him as an indictment of the Punisher, Wolverine hero prototype, and somehow he caught on as the high violence poster boy. Go figure."[1] He later stated that both Lobo and Ambush Bug were derived from Lunatik, a character he created in high school. Lobo was the favorite DC Comics character of Stan Lee. Social/Sharing |
