Framed above his bed...

Let's go camping 

Congrats bud! Monster acquisition and all time classic piece. 

This has to get u on caf live!   Congrats - classic iconic piece.  

As if CAF Live would have this degenerate. 

A truer truth never spoken,

Thanks man! 
What do you think about You and Me v. Rob Liefeld and his athletic looking son?

That son has only gotten bigger and stronger!  

Hey if you ever want to sell this one.... 😉

You just found the fountain of youth and you even brought Grandma back too.

Right outta prison!

I worry that grandma is a metaphor nobody wants to think about. 

I had jock itch a few weeks in the 90's too, but hadn't thought about bringing those memories back with such vengeance as this guy.

Anything more than two itches it's just playing with it 

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Congrats! This is phenomenal!

God bless your grandma.  

Phenomenal Ryan. Huge congrats to the gemstone of a fantastic collection.  An iconic piece.

You know this is a print, right?

Yah, fingerprints with wingsauce! The original is in the frame in the additional photos.

NFT for sale

Only 3 likes after 70 views?!?! - Flame on!

You clearly REALLY wanted this. Your story explains a bit better why. There are better Lobo images by Bisley but as a guy who is also looking for art from a comic has grandma gave him, this makes sense.

I paid for it with a NFT of a digital rendering of a hot wheels playmat shaved into the back of my neck

I know. Who do you think bought that NFT? Check my CAF gallery titled “Sherwood Forest” for more images.

I appreciate it immensely! Thats one where you DEFINITELY dont want the original.  Or the "Cave course" add-on.

Holy $h@t, imagine all the hooker and blow those loonies could have bought but you walked out with this bastich instead lol.  Congrats buddy!

That Bisley art guy can really paint pretty pictures. May want to remove the mirror in the powder-room and put up this bad boy in its place. that way everyone who visits can feel like a bounty hunter. Congrats on catching it!

Congrats Ryan! This is truly an iconic piece of art! Wow!

Doesn't get better than this. Massive congrats my friend.

iconic

I remember this piece, huge congrats!   That's a trophy for sure!

Un-Fraggin'-Believable! Congrats on this historic/iconic piece and thanks for sharing!

Ah, so you bought this. Big time congrats! 

A little bit of history... this used to sit on Mike Zeck's wall for many years.

I've been wondering about where this thing has travelled - and that is an epic start to the story 

thank you!

This is one of the most epic and iconic covers of the '90s! It launched a whole new style of comics. I couldn't get enough of Lobo as a teen! Fantastic and epic pick up! Hugest of congrats! I can only imagine the smile you get every time you look at it!

Epic Bisley example. Really, is there a more memorable Biz? Congrats again. This looks fantastic in your gallery.

i think this is the ultimate Bisley. His style is perfect for Lobo and he captures the essence of the character, there is probably a part Biz in the in Lobo too. Congratulations

First off, let me just say that your Grandma is a badass. The fact that she chose this issue for you when this was the art on the cover says a lot about how amazing she must be. Second, this really is one of those pieces that defines a collection. I'm so happy that you were able to get this. It landed in the right place! Congrats, man!

Congrats Ryan, the very best kind of hobby madness on display!

Just :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O  !!! Congratulations mate.

Bastiche 

LoOoboOooOograndmaknows!  Absolutely busting for you!! And you know your Grandmother is too ✧*｡٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧*｡

Admit it Ryan, this is really just a photo of your trampstamp. The jig is up sir! 

So this is like, THE GRAIL then yeah? It really sounds like it. I dont think many of us know what that actually feels like. Congrats my man! You forgot to say when you walk around carrying it like the Stanley Cup, that you're only wearing tube socks and that sweatshirt with the face on it! Gotta mention the uniform lol. I'm super happy for you man congrats again! Huge deal! 

A huge congrats on this win, Ryan. The 90s are back, bastiches!

Memorable for sure!

I don't think you have enough comments on this, So I'll pop in to fluff up the comment count a little and congratulate you on an Epic piece!

You never fluff commentary! You're B Master Hamm, legend of the Vest!

Lobo was for L.E.G.I.O.N.* what Wolverine once was for the X-Men: That completely unpredictable badass you were forced to go into battle alongside. Great great cover.

*underrated series IMO

Love the intensity of the composition: That intense black dot exactly in the center of the page, and everything around it, chaos and energy.

Woo hoo!!  Well done sir, well done. 

This thing has some A game moxy. That lip, that smile, that twinkle of eye - I can't help but come hither. 

You know bud, with this pick-up, I think you finally hit "the definition of a well-balanced Comic Art Collector!"  Just you and M L for now...

Respect!! sincerily congrats !! Cheers!! 

Incredible...one of the most iconic pieces of comic art ever...I discussed its whereabouts with Simon on many an occasion...Now we know where it is!

Once again, thank you from mega fan...

Well I was wondering. Bam.A classic. You earned it. Ya bastich! haha. Sincere congratulations.

Sockamagee! (And cheers for grandma, as well.)

Congrats on this amazing iconic cover. 

Fraggin' awesome! Huge congrats!

Grandmas rock, man. Incredible acquisition, Ryan! Cherish it forever!

Fantastic piece, fantastic story! Congrats!

Yes!! Not only is this EPIC beyond belief, but there is truly nothing cooler in this hobby than when great art lands in the right hands:) Congrats on an absolute gem!!!!

My late grandma used to watch Wrestling religiously.  Once my uncle tried to tell her it was fake, and the next thing he knew, he was in a headlock on the livingroom carpet.  I think she would have liked your grams a lot.  Congrats on this iconic 90's gem.  Nice move on the appropriate change of avatars.  Leave no doubt.  By the way, you should get your grandma's copy of Lobo #1 slabbed.  I'll spring.  Still one Canadian team left in the playoffs.  If the Cup ends up landing up north, maybe you can get a photo of both trophies together.  Raise it high buddy!

Fraggin' cool and iconic, congrats!

That is absoultely mindblowinging amazing! What's really interesting to me is to see that white highlight on Lobo's eye in the actual painting. On one of the occasions I got to spend a little time with Simon at one of his appearences here on the East Coast we spoke about this cover and he said the white highlight on the eye was a printing mistake (??) and that it had been done without his knowledge...but seeing it on the actual painting shows that makes no sense! It seems so perfect to be there anyway. Who knows why he said that lol..Simon is certainly an interesting character for sure..a super nice and funny guy and an incredible artist. Congrats on this fantastic piece! 

Oh no, wait!! I'm seeing the closeup of the actual painting now and it's true! The white highlight isn't there! WoW! 

Woooo!!  Congrats, RS!  Great art with HIGH nostalgia factor - can't be beat.  The main man never looked so good!

🤯 WOW!!!!! Congratulations. Great story. Thanks for sharing with us.

Awesome cover! Not a Lobo fan but love Bisleys work especially on this cover! It's great seeing collectors land pieces they have a connection with. Congrats!

I say this is a million percent. That is better than one hundred percent.

Amazing! Grail!

S'up. Is this for sale?

You have any SSB litho's?

DO you like production overlays?

So happy this landed in your collection!

Are you a big Lobo fan or something? 

Mad respect for grandma on this choice! She has good taste! Congrats - so glad to see this in a collection like yours. 

Nothing better than finding your grail piece...I've honestly had a few. But to (somewhat) borrow your memory...mine involves my father way back when I didn't even know there was a collector brewing in me. It actually took two years for the "true" collector/hoarder to emerge. But my grail was the Kenneth Smith Creepy 41 cover. I still remember the rainy day, jumping out of my dad's car, and running into the newsstand to pick up a comic or magazine. Mad magazine was what I was thinking---but when I saw the Creepy cover, and the cute girl who worked in the shop and called me "honey!!!!", I wanted to prove to her I knew what I wanted and bought the Creepy. I knew where the cover resided for nearly 30 years. The owner knew I wanted it, and priced it accordingly. When it sold to someone else, that person sold it to me for a song (thanks Eric!). It is not my best piece of art---but has the most memories attached to it. Goes well with the Corben story I got! Congrats my friend! you did well.....

My apologies for not replying

i love this story - and since when did Creepy win the girl! That makes it the best!

Damn, I'm a little late to the party.  Epic cover!!

WHOA

Call an ambulance! This thing is so sharp it draws blood. 

I'm confused. Is this the original that recently sold at auction or a recreation? 

She be the OG - Loboriginal

this is awesome!

W-T-F ! Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow memorable cover !

Money for sure was made to waste in things we need !

Enjoy it 

DAMN !!!!!

I love some Bisley and hate others.This is just.....wow!

Love this cover! I remember it as a kid when i started comic book collecting. Congrats man.on owning this cover. 👌

Destroyer of wallets!
