Lobo: The Last Czarnian #[nn]
In "Portrait of a Psychopath," Lobo—DC's most unhinged bounty hunter—finds himself trapped in a bizarre cosmic spelling bee, where failure means disintegration. With Miss Tribb watching in grim disbelief and Dox's grand scheme unraveling, Lobo's brutal instincts and survival skills prove oddly useful in the most absurd of settings. Written by Keith Giffen and Alan Grant, with wild, grotesque art by Keith Giffen and Simon Bisley, and a cover by Simon Bisley, this 1992 classic delivers the kind of over-the-top, darkly comic chaos only Lobo can deliver.

Dox's super secret plot to rid the universe of some of the galaxy's most unsavory characters is derailed when Lobo and Miss Tribb disappear from the scanners. They have been captured by a ship full of intellectuals who force Lobo to participate in a spelling bee where the losers are disintegrated. Miss Tribb holds no illusions that her former pupil will do well as he wasn't the brightest bulb in her fourth grade class. Luckily, all of Lobo's worlds deal with death and destruction and he wins handily. After exercising his brain so laboriously, Lobo decides it's time for a vacation.
