Lobo: Blazing Chain of Love #1

Dan Brereton's painted cover for this 1992 DC one-shot says it all: Lobo — wild-haired, cigar-lit, and thoroughly pleased with himself — strides forward surrounded by an enormous heap of swooning, heart-adorned admirers draped across every inch of the frame. It's a gloriously absurd valentine to the Main Man's particular brand of mayhem, rendered with Brereton's lush, painterly flair. With Giffen, Grant, and Cowan at the helm, Blazing Chain of Love delivers exactly the kind of over-the-top Lobo spectacle the mature-readers label promises.
