Description
Published in the intro section of the "Lobo -The Last Czarnian" trade as a full page. In my humble opinion there’s noting more useless than Ebay-seller/art auction/CAF member – "descriptions" that tell what you can see on a page (or panels). But in the case of this nice Biz-study it was so tempting to do exactly this, just to make sure that you, dear reader, do not miss anything of this 12 x 15 inch mix of nice inked try-outs ! From left to right: Superman, Batman, Wolverine, „Captain Zooom“(?!), Joe Pinneaples (from the „ABC Warriors“ – his first big comic workload at 2000AD – buy it if you don’t know it: collected under „The Black Hole“, written by Pat Mills), a slimy wobble guy, an ape-face - smoking a joint, a deaf looking fat dude, a hamster (!), 2 full apes, a guy that gets his butt kicked, a beautiful woman face, a fat weirdo reading a book and of course a bunch of Lobo faces and an almost full body Lobo – highly similar to a published page image. Lobo has the Lenny Kilmister(Motorhead) hairstyle here instead of the earlier Keith Giffen drawn „pointed“ hair from the first mini-series – I think that page was directly drawn after the first mini-series in late 1991. Look up my other Bisley stuff, including a self portrait that you will love and a Lobo splash, if you like what you see here !

very very nice, this was publiashed in some book I cant rememebr but Im sure youre aware of, I have a few of his rapidograph self portrats from this same era, and book publication, and a pretty good female warrior that was also printed in that same book.  Thanks for sharing this oldy, I do enjoy his earlier exploring sketch stuff.

And I'm pointing right back atcha, Lobo. Fracking awesome! I was an underbidder on this sweet and hilarious practice sheet. You have to love Bisley. He even doodles awesome! Congrats!

He threw everything in there!  Each doodle so expressive in its own right!

What fun! So cool to see the rough sketches Bisley produces while working on his art!

This (along with 2 other pages of studies) was printed in the Lobo: Last Czarnian trade paperback that came out in 1991. Nice to finally see it online!

These were published pre-internet so a comics book artist's process was a complete mystery to me and these pages at the start of the Lobo graphic novel provided a real inspiration to me and probably many others who saw them
