Simon Beasley, Keith Giffen, Amanda Conner, Neil Gaiman, Jimmy Palmiotti and Alan Grant have signed some of Lobo’s crazy stories, now collected in a ECC Ediciones general edition titled Bastard Photo.
Lobo has always been the DC Universe’s version of Boba Fett (surprisingly, another bounty hunter): the character, despite not having a long print run or adaptations in other media, is one of many readers’ favorites due to his likability. Beauty and its uniqueness. Now, thanks to ECC Ediciones, Lobo: The Bastard Photo brings together some of his stories from the biggest names in the comics world.
“Do you know where to get the comics code?”
When Keith Giffen, a legend in the comics world who passed away tragically, was bereaved by all media professionals, and Roger Slifer created the character in the early 1980s in the third issue of the Omega Men series (not written by Tom King, obviously), the humor would be out of control. Little did they know…
This type of mercenary from the planet Zarnia, originally created to be a villain, later years, in the 1990s, became an example of the successful and successful superheroes of Marvel Comics (Punisher and Wolverine mainly). An icon similar to that of Deadpool living in the house of ideas, a character who transcends the unity of the universe in which he was created is used in many crazy storylines and crossovers.
Ultraviolentism, foul language, political incorrectness, and a general lack of ethics are characteristics that make Lobo not only fodder, but also a relatively awkward presence when it comes to writing a “serious” story in an ongoing setting, even if famous screenwriters know how to do it, which is a big problem in these situations. to deal with.
Disgusting stories
If we forget that absurd attempt to fix our character’s behavior, forgetting everything that makes him special, to turn him into something else and introduce him to the general public in the New 52, our main character will always enjoy the favor of your readers. And if the rumors are true and the character is found on the big screen (perhaps with Jason Momoa) in the universe that good old James Gunn is building, this is a place that could grow. For all these reasons, it seems like a good time to compile these adventures.
Perhaps his most memorable story is entitled The Last Zarnian, which tells the story of how a mercenary is hired to rescue a member of his own species named Miss Tribe, his former fourth-grade teacher. This is even weirder considering that Lobo has killed (or thought he did) every Tsarian in the universe and Miss Trib is writing a biography about him.
In his next journey, our heavy metal anti-hero ends up with nothing less than Heaven’s Gate to complete a mission that ends up suffering through a series of reincarnations that epitomize the hooliganism with which the writers approach this series.
In The Wolf’s Christmas Punishment we will have as special guests Santa Claus himself and his friends who are bored in fun ways. At this point, it’s clear that we’re here to break the bank and nothing more, and the absurdity of this plot fits perfectly with that idea.
At the end, there are some very curious stories about his encounters with Batman, Robin, the Joker and Harley as he introduces Zarcian to the strange world that is Gotham City. Quinn.
Simon Beesley and Lobo, the great couple
English cartoonist Simon Beasley is the greatest figure in this volume and in Zarcian’s work as a whole, as his life is inevitably depicted in this character, to the point where he is only known for what he did with the consent of other illustrators. Villains like Judge Dredd.
Motley’s writing style, which could be described as an angry and angular Richard Corben, made him not only a perfectly recognized artist, but also part of the character’s DNA, as he showed how underground and provocative Beasley was. Touch on what makes Zarchiano brilliantly different.
This volume is presented in hardcover, contains 368 color pages and includes a translation of the back numbers of the American edition. 1-4, wolf no. 1-4, Lobo’s Paramilitary Christmas Special, Lobo’s Gallery: Portraits of Bastet, Harley’s Little Black Book 6, Batman/Lobo and Black and White Volumes 1-2, and covers of all related issues and a small final volume of alternate covers. It has a recommended retail price of €43.50 and goes on sale in September 2023.
