Lobo #41

In "Friends: The One with Tusks and a Big Weapon," Lobo and his unlikely companions spend a surprisingly mundane evening in a yuppie apartment, trading stories and spicy snacks before heading out on a hunt that’ll leave one man fatherless and another oddly attached to a monkey. Written by Alan Grant and brought to life with sharp, gritty art by Alex Horley (pencils and inks), this 1997 issue captures Lobo’s chaotic charm in a rare moment of quiet before the inevitable explosion. The cover by Alex Horley perfectly encapsulates the absurdity of the scene: a towering alien with tusks, a glass of hot sauce in hand, and a monkey perched on his shoulder.
