Lobo #54

The cover of Lobo #54 says it all — the Main Man himself surges forward in a swirling cloud of pink smoke and daisy flowers, fists clenched and chains at the ready, while a chaotic mob of grotesque alien fighters and military hardware crowds the background. Carl Critchlow and Mark Propst deliver a cover that perfectly captures Lobo's gleefully contradictory nature: surrounded by delicate blossoms and the bold declaration "Lobo Loves You!", yet clearly in the middle of absolute mayhem. Part three of "The Hunting Party" arc, written by Alan Grant, this 1998 issue promises the irreverent, over-the-top energy that defines the series at its best.
