Lobo #43

That yellow warning sign says it all — "Danger: Main Man at Work" — as a bullet-riddled construction placard depicts Lobo's silhouette raising a shovel over a hapless, sprawling victim, blood spattering the edges for good measure. Carl Critchlow and Mark Propst deliver a cover that's equal parts deadpan humor and gleeful menace, perfectly capturing the Last Czarnian's brand of over-the-top mayhem. With Alan Grant scripting, this September 1997 issue promises the kind of anarchic fun that kept Lobo's solo series running strong well into its fourth year.
