Base of Operations: Mobile, formerly Czarnia, Cairn

First Appearance: Omega Men #3 (June, 1983)

(Lobo I #1, Lobo II #0 (fb)) - Lobo couldn't stand the Czarnians, and wanted to be unique in the universe, so he engineered insects that spread a plague that killed everyone on the planet except him. Lobo celebrated by getting drunk and playing thrash-guitar. As he watched the Czarnians perish he reflected that it was like Zaand, the first girl he’d been with, only several billion times better.

(Lobo II #0 (fb)) - One of Lobo's clones, still possessing the ability to clone himself, escaped Vril Dox's genocide. Lobo tracked the clone down to his lair, and after a titanic battle only one of them survived.

(Action Comics #650) - Lobo walked into an intergalactic bar looking for a fight.

(Lobo I #1-4) - Lobo was playing with his space-dolphins and planning to kill whoever wrote The Unauthorized Biography of Lobo when Vril Dox assigned him to bring a prisoner from Oneida VI to L.E.G.I.O.N. hq on Cairn. Lobo said it was a job beneath him, and Vril reminded him of their physical debate. Vril failed to mention that the prisoner was Miss E. Tribbs, Lobo’s fourth grade teacher and the author of the unauthorized biography. Lobo was incensed that another Czarnian lived, and that she repeatedly tugged his ear and criticized his manners, but he had to bring her back alive. In his frustration he killed Oneida police chief Bamueless and got in a fight with space-truckers. Tribbs eluded him on a backwater planet and attended a Pan-Galactic Demolition Dance Company ballet. The ballet featured ultra-violence, and the troupe attacked Lobo, thinking he was there to upstage them, so Lobo slaughtered them and the audience. Lobo cut off Tibbs legs so she couldn’t get away again. Lobo didn’t know that the Oneida S.W.A.T., the space-truckers, the hero-worshipping Sons of Lobo, the Demolition Dance Company and the Legion of Decency, who were after Tibbs, were all converging on him. Vril actually wanted all these rogue elements taken out by Lobo, but didn’t want L.E.G.I.O.N. associated with it. Before the big confrontation Lobo and Tibbs were abducted by the Orthography Commandos, champions of literacy who forced them to compete in a deadly spelling bee. Lobo escaped, killed the Commandos, and brought Tibbs to Revel-7 the party planet. He phoned Vril over an unsecured line to tell him he was taking a brief rest, and the factions seeking Lobo picked up the call and started converging on Revel-7. Vril was upset because Revel-7 was a neutral planet without law enforcement, and a poor choice for the battleground. The combatants ended up taking each other out, but in his boredom Lobo broadcasted to all of Revel-7 threatening to kill everyone if they didn’t leave the planet in 5 hours. The mass evacuation resulted in rioting and the loss of millions of lives. Lobo returned Tibbs to Cairn and told Vril his broadcast was only a joke so he wasn’t at fault. He then snapped Tibbs neck, telling Dox he promised to deliver her alive but made no guarantees past that.

(Lobo’s Back #1-4) - Lobo, finding his cashflow in a bad state since being forced to work with L.E.G.I.O.N. accepted a job for Ramona’s Bail Bond and Unisex Salon. Ramona sent several bounty hunters to Dooley-7 to apprehend Loo, but they’d all bee killed. Lobo set off for Dooley with his pets Mutt, a gorilla and a squadron of killer penguins in tow. Lobo asked around about Loo at a Dooley bar, and Loo had Lobo’s hotel bombed. In a one-on-one confrontation Lobo and Loo shot each other to bits but found themselves in a stalemate. Loo’s brother Feces shot Lobo, splitting him in two and killing him. Lobo found himself at the gates of Heaven waiting to be judged, but because the line had a 41 year wait he grew impatient and started mutilating the recently deceased souls. Aqn angel came to Lobo and told him that although he was condemned to Hell the devil refused to accept him, so through the “infinite mercy” clause he was being taken to Heaven. He rattled the Heavenly host by playing metal music on his angel’s harp, getting them to slamdance and fight, resulting in his probationary reassignment to Hell. Lobo got in a brawl with Etrigan the Demon and was having too much fun, so he was slated for reincarnation. He didn’t specify the type of reincarnation he wanted, so he was reborn as a woman in the year 1940 in London, England during Hitler’s blitz. Lobo couldn’t stand the idea being a woman because he was such a misogynist, so he went on a murderous rampage and intended to get himself killed again so he could set things straight in the afterlife. General Glory and Ernie encountered Lobo, mistook her for a citizen driven mad by the bombings and tried to restrain her when she got violent. During their struggle Lobo was killed by an  English infantry’s cannonshot. Lobo caused more havoc in the afterlife, and against all the rules they agreed to reincarnate him exactly as he was exactly before he died. Due to a malfunction in the process he was reincarnated as a squirrel during Lobo’s final battle with Loo. As Lobo was shot and fell over he squished the Lobo squirrel. Back in the afterlife Lobo found himself surrounded by warheads. He was opposed by every faction of the afterlife including the Godsquad, composed of leaders of various pantheons. He tore his way through all of them, and Derek Dood, supervisor of the afterlife, finally let Lobo reincarnate at the exact moment of his death. Lobo killed Loo and Feces, and went looking for a stapler to reattach his lower half. Dood sent notice to all the devils and deities that Lobo was under no circumstances to be taken into the afterlife again.

(Lobo: Blazing Chain of Love #1) - Ramona offered Lobo a cakewalk mission to recover a lady of the night from Boinx-11, and he accepted because he needed new parts for his bike.  She was hiding in the harem of the king, but the harem living quarters was the size of a city. The king’d been impotent for years, and the ladies used their feminine wiles on Lobo for days on end until he decided he’d had enough of a good thing. The harem mobbed him, and he sedated the thousands of women with tranq darts. Lobo knew he only had a day to identify his target before they woke up and went crazy on him again.

(Demon III #31-33) - Jason Blood was trying to help his friend Harry Matthews, whose soul was being kept in Hell, so he created a small magical dragon, and sent it into space with a note intended for Lobo, challenging him to fight Etrigan. Lobo was on the planet Outlaw, looking to collect a bounty on the Hardy Boys gang. They were worth more alive, so he shot out their kneecaps, but when he got Jason’s note he was enraged and decided to head to Earth immediately. Having no means to collect his bounty right away he decapitated the Hardy Boys and strung their heads from his bike. Lobo sped toward Earth, ranting that he wouldn’t be taking any prisoners when he fought Etrigan, and rammed an American space shuttle with his bike, destroying it. Etrigan clashed with the demon Asteroth over Merlin’s Eternity Book, which Etrigan needed to save Harry’s soul. Lobo arrived on Earth, looking to fight the demon, and attacked Asteroth, not wanting anyone to take his kill away from him. They fought fiercely until Etrigan recovered and ignited the tanker truck’s chemicals, causing a huge explosion. Asteroth limped away and Etrigan retrieved the Eternity Book. Etrigan reluctantly thanked Lobo, who said he wanted the pleasure of killing the demon himself. Etrigan tried to explain that he’d lured Lobo to Earth because he needed his help, but Lobo refused to listen and attacked. They fought into the Gotham subway system, and after being shocked on the third rail and run over by a subway car they were both momentarily stunned. Lobo admitted he always got a kick out of fighting Etrigan, and let him explain his offer to accompany him into Hell to save Harry Matthews soul. Etrigan promised battles aplenty and the chance to help kill Etrigan’s father Belial, who had Harry’s soul. The idea of patricide sealed the deal for Lobo, and he told the demon he was in. Etrigan introduced Lobo to Harry, Randu and Glenda. Lobo insulted them and forcibly grabbed Glenda, prompting Harry to promise that after he got his soul back he was going to kick Etrigan’s butt. Glenda asked Etrigan if she could say goodbye to Jason Blood before he left for Hell, and Etrigan refused, instead forcing a kiss on her. Etrigan took Lobo and Harry on a ride in his hellish hotrod, and opened a gate to Hell, driving through.

(Demon III #34, 35) - Etrigan and company arrived in Hell at Castle Cuur , the new residence of Morax, who asked Etrigan if he was back to rule Hell. Etrigan said ruling wasn’t what interested him anymore, and told Morax about his quest to save Harry’s soul. Etrigan commented that things seemed different in Hell, and Morax related how Lucifer abdicated, leaving Hell, and demons everywhere started bloody wars in an effort to grab power. Belial, vastly weakened without his heart, confined himself to his most secret sanctum. Morax offered to join them, though he was suspicious that Etrigan didn’t have other motives for returning to Hell, and took Lurgo aside, telling him to have Morax’s Torment Squads shadow them. They needed to cross the River Styx, and Charon objected to transporting their hotrod. Etrigan threatened him, but Charon was unimpressed, saying that he was immune to the Hell-Born, and none could keep him from his allotted task. Lobo started hitting him with his hook chain, to which Charon was not immune, and he agreed to take them and their transport across Styx. When Charon let them off he cursed them, telling them to never come back, and Lobo, not appreciating his attitude, tossed a frag grenade at him. They were beset by the demon Hyperaktiv and his cannibal brothers, but Lobo, Morax and Etrigan slaughtered them with relish, while Harry cheered from the sidelines, getting a vicarious thrill from the combat. Etrigan’s hotrod ran low on fuel, so the group stopped at a reststop, where Etrigan grabbed the attendant and shoved him in the fuel tank, saying that his car ran on souls. They arrived at Belial’s secret sanctum and demanded to be let in. Etrigan wanted to know why his father was so down in the dumps, and Belial reminded his son that he’d ripped his heart out. Belial hardly even had an appetite for evil anymore. Ran va Daath had the heart, but it was stolen and being kept in the Impenetrable Fortress of Flynn. Belial introduced Etrigan’s group to MacAwfully Cutekin, who he claimed was his nephew, a proto-demon who’d been the one to locate his heart. Cutekin was actually Merlin in disguise, having previously made a deal with Belial so he could destroy his half-brother. Etrigan asked for Harry’s soul back, and Belial led them to his soul room, where the billions of souls he’d collected over the eons were watched over by Ca’rrion, keeper of souls. Belial uncorked Harry’s soul, allowing Harry to see it was safe and sound before putting it back in the bottle. Belial said he’d give them Harry’s soul if they retrieved his heart, and Etrigan agreed. While they talked Lobo and Morax ganged up on MacAwfully Cutekin, pulling him aside and dismembering him with hook and mallet because they despised his cloying cuteness. Belial asked Etrigan why he was helping a mortal, and his son said he was trying to be the good guy of Hell. Belial was disgusted with the thought, and said he hoped it was just a phase. Belial sent Etrigan and his crew off, and told them he’d look after Harry, introducing him to Katarina de la Kush, another soul he’d turned into a pillow. After they left Belial, not trusting Etrigan one bit, sent his Skull Squad to shadow his son. Belial discovered Cutekin’s remains and used his magic to reassemble him. Merlin dropped his disguise and, enraged at the abuse he’d suffered, vowed to kill Etrigan and all his friends. As a fun diversion Etrigan drove his hotrod through the River Styx Races, killing most of the racers. Etrigan, Lobo and Morax were now being followed by the surviving racers, the Skull Squad, Morax’s Torment Squads, and the Nomads of the Wasteland, who were plundering in the wake of Etrigan’s destruction.

(Demon III #36, 37) - Etrigan found the Fortress, a giant floating, spiked stone surrounded by legions of the dead who’d tried to penetrate it. Etrigan leapt towards it heedlessly, and was hit with a spell of deterrence that sent him into a lake of lava. A lava dragon swallowed Etrigan, who fried it from the inside out with hellfire. Etrigan spotted a catapult, and after testing it using some hapless nearby demons, he tied a rope around Lobo and launched him at the Fortress, reasoning that its’ spells of protection would only target the hell-born. Lobo found himself impaled on one of the Fortress’ spikes, and small hatches opened releasing demonic scorpions that stung him. Etrigan and Morax quickly climbed the rope, blasted the scorpions, and pulled Lobo, who’d passed out, from the spike. Etrigan took some of Lobo’s frag grenades, using them to blast open the Fortress’ hatches. Inside they were confronted by giant magically animated suits of armor, but easily dispatched them, their magical enchantments having weakened over the years. Etrigan followed the smell of his father’s heart into a series of cavers covered in spiderwebs. Flynn and his army were nothing but skeletons, having long ago perished because their Impenetrable Fortress was also inescapable. They found a throne room, and on the throne was the Thing-That-Cannot-Die, who Etrigan had met while trapped in the Beyond Region. He explained to Etrigan that after he’d fled the Beyond Region his escape caused a disturbance that made the Region unstable. The Thing escaped the Region, but was shunted into Hell. He was the one who’d stolen Belial’s heart from Ran va Daath, and called himself wicked but said he couldn’t exist. After getting trapped in the Fortress he got so hungry he ended up eating the heart. Etrigan was incredulous, but decided to search Merlin’s Eternity Book for a spell that could restore Belial’s heart. While Etrigan scanned the tome Morax decided to see if the Thing-That-Cannot-Die lived up to his name, and pounded him into a bloody heap with his mallet. Etrigan found the spell he was looking for, and the Thing told the frustrated Morax he could take a break. The angels Remiel and Duma, surveying their new domain, found the Impenetrable Fortress, and Remiel told Etrigan that whatever he was up to he had to stop immediately. Etrigan rejected their sovereignty of Hell, and attacked them. Morax joined the assault, and although Remiel did his best to assert his authority and make them relent they would not. The angels used their Heavenly light to strike down the demons, but the revived Lobo then attacked. Etrigan kept trying to bring out Remiel’s rage, and he succeeded in making the angel lose his cool. Remiel was prepared to kill Etrigan, but Duma staid his hand. Remiel felt sullied by the whole encounter and said he was taking his leave with Duma. The Thing pleaded his case that he’d been punished for ages by being exiled and tortured in the Region Beyond, and he was never meant to be in Hell, asking the angels to save him, but Remiel said he didn’t care about the Thing’s problems. The Thing shed a tear, bemoaning the fact that he was living a life he never wanted, a stranger in a strange land. Lobo got his crack at seeking if he could kill the Thing, and although he enjoyed the punishment the Thing could absorb he soon got angry that the Thing was indeed unkillable. Etrigan told his companions that the spell he’d found required the sacrifice of a thousand men to use their hearts to turn into a new demon heart. Etrigan was well aware of the different factions shadowing him, and told Morax and Lobo they were going to slaughter them all and harvest their hearts. Morax admitted that Lurgo and his men were among those following them, but Etrigan insisted they were expendable. Morax also pointed out how outnumbered they were, but both Lobo and Etrigan agreed that losing in battle was not even a consideration for them, and they leapt headlong into a surprise attack.

(Demon III #38, 39) - Etrigan and company mowed down their opposition in a killing frenzy. Morax even killed his own men, but when he spotted Lurgo he told his loyal henchman to flee. Etrigan ripped the hearts from his dead enemies and completed the ritual to make Belial’s new heart. Etrigan and his men, now with Lurgo and the Thing in tow, jumped in his hotrod and sped back towards Belial’s sanctum. Morax worried that Belial would double-cross them, and Etrigan said he was prepared for that. He briefly exited the car to burn eldritch symbols into a boulder before resuming their trip. Etrigan presented his father with his new heart, and although Belial grumbled about the loss of his old one, he said it was serviceable enough. Belial reunited Harry with his soul, but Harry remained a seat cushion, and Belial admitted he lied when he said having his soul back would revert Harry to normal. Harry fumed while Belial, Etrigan, Lobo and Morax all laughed at him. Etrigan revealed the real reason he’d agreed to save Harry’s soul. He’d found a spell in the Eternity Book that would let a prince of Hell rule as overlord for one day a year if he  returned a human soul without asking for a reward. Etrigan completed the spell over Belial’s objections, but the magic was booby trapped, and once the spell was finished Etrigan found himself on fire, and was soon burned down to his bones. Merlin revealed himself and bragged that he’d put that spell in the Eternity Book  as a trap for his hated half-brother. Merlin and Belial gloated about Etrigan’s death, infuriating the Thing because he liked Jason Blood. He scorched off Merlin’s beard with his flame breathe and engaged him in a brief magical duel before being stepped on by Belial. Morax and Lobo decided to finish what the Thing started and attacked. They were winning the battle when Etrigan appeared, revealing that the eldritch spell he cast earlier created a magical duplicate, having a suspicion that the Eternity Book spell was cursed. Merlin looked around for his Eternity Book, but the Thing had devoured it. After brutalizing Belial and Merlin Etrigan ripped Belial’s heart out again, and placed Merlin inside his chest cavity. He then sealed the wound with hellfire and buried Belial in a deep grave. Etrigan took Harry and his new female pillow  friend Katarina de la Kush and told Morax he was leaving Hell with Lobo. They rode to one of the gates exiting Hell, and Etrigan told Lobo he’d have to fight the gatekeeper, an enormous dog demon. Lobo was having a difficult time, so the Thing, having stowed away in Etrigan’s trunk, said he’d help finish the guardian if Etrigan took him out of Hell. Etrigan agreed, and because the Thing was cautious about trusting him, he cut his own hand and shook on a blood oath. The Thing helped Lobo, true to his word, but Etrigan broke his and left him behind. The Thing sobbed, being once again alone. Etrigan and Lobo unwound from their quest by downing beers at a Gotham City bar.

(Guy Gardner #6) - Lobo came to Earth to get Guy Gardner's power ring, reminding him of their deal. Guy welched, and they began a massive fight. Guy's ring ran out of power, and Lobo beat him to a pulp.

(Lobo Convention Special #1) - At Ramona’s Bail Bond Lobo bust a gut laughing at the highly collectible comic adaptation of Superman’s death, and he accidentally shredded his comic. Ramona told him that despite the common sense law of supply and demand he’;d never be able to find a replacement copy at cover price. Lobo went to Earth and found only reprints in a comic store, and found that the publisher DC Comics didn’t have any more comp copies, so he headed to the San Diego comic convention. After ruining several priceless comics and maiming fanboys he was mistaken for comic artist Simon Bisely and invited to join a discussion panel. Afterwards Lobo reviewed fan portfolios, and finding that fans had a poor sense of anatomy he dissected a fanboy as an instructive example. He attended the convention award banquet and bullied the judges into giving him every award. The U.S. navy learned that Lobo was inside the convention, and willing to sacrifice comic fans to get at Lobo they bombed the convention. Lobo enjoyed the assault, deciding comic fans knew how to have a goodtime. In the wreckage Lobo found a mint copy of Superman #75. In his excitement he ripped it up, and decided that comics were stupid anyway.

(Lobo II #5) - Vril Dox sent Lobo to collect a bounty on Bludhound, a psychotic dying of Rob's Disease who was cutting a swath of murder across multiple planets. Bludhound was approaching the planet harmony when Lobo found him, and their battle led to the destruction of both their space-bikes in a huge explosion. They fell to harmony and continued their bloody battle until the hero Gold Star broke up the fight. Bludhound came to harmony to meet Gold Star, his long lost brother, and kill him. Lobo wasn't concerned with their family issues and used grenades to take Gold Star out of the situation before finishing his fight with Bludhound, whose disease finally claimed him.

(Lobo: in The Chair #1) - On a backwater desert planet Lobo killed every outlaw with a price on their head except the Winter Brothers, who he couldn't find. He handed the bodies and wanted posters offering rewards over to the sheriff of Bountytown and told him he'd be expecting his payment shortly. Lobo went to get a haircut, but fell asleep in the chair. The Winter Brothers were also in the barbershop, and amused themselves giving Lobo the haircuts of several famous Earth musicians. They then wrapped him up in an electrical cord, plugged it in and shocked him awake, demanding the bounties he'd claimed on their friends. Lobo tricked them into unplugging the cord, and then gave them violent haircuts before killing them for messing up his hair.

(Lobo II #0) - Lobo was having breakfast at Al's when Mig and his gang of alien criminals tried to rob the diner.

(Lobo / Deadman: The Brave and the Bald #1) - Lobo arrived on Earth to collect a bounty on Deadman put on him by Doictor Kroolman. Lobo used a spook-detector to find Deadman, but before he could use a spook-collector on him Deadman possessed him. Deadman had to use incredible willpower to keep Lobo under control, and took Lobo’s bike to the drop-off point where he was supposed to deliver Deadman. Doctor Kroolman used a boom tube to bring them to Apokolips where they were assaulted by Para-Demons. Deadman/Lobo fought them off, but the distraction let Lobo regain control and use the collector to capture Deadman. Kroolman offered Lobo two million creds to collect another bounty, and the Main Man shook on it before Kroolman told him the bounty was for Lobo. Lobo’s sense of honor wouldn’t let him back out, so he killed himself, at which point Kroolman used the spirit-collector on him. Kroolman sought the secrets of heaven to make Darkseid a greater god, and he knew both Lobo and Deadman had been to Heaven. He used a psionic dissembling machine to break apart their spirits in hopes of finding the subconscious part of their spirits that knew the way to Heaven. While dragging away Lobo’s body a Para-Demon accidentally summoned Lobo’s bike, disrupting the dissembler and allowing Deadman to escape and Lobo to return to his body. Darkseid was not pleased with Kroolman’s failure and demanded he commit suicide. Lobo fiddled with Kroolman’s mother box before handing it back to the despot, and it sent Darkseid on a boom tube trip across the universe. Lobo was satisfied with his revenge.

(Lobo's Big Babe Spring Break Special #1) - Lobo was hired to bodyguard Wes Wesley’s Miss Voluptua college girl bikini contest contestants from the Legion of Decency.

(Lobo: I Quit #1) - Lobo and Jonas rounded up most of the members of the Baby-Face Booth gang, but afterwards Lobo was exhausted and started wheezing. Jonas, who'd been harping on Lobo to quit smoking, was convinced Lobo's healing factor was finally failing him and his stogies had ruined his health. Lobo went to Doctor Doc, who x-rayed him and found a shadow on his lung. Jonas bet the bounty on the Booth gang that Lobo couldn't quit smoking for a day. Lobo tried a quit smoking kit, acupuncture and a hypnotist, but his urges were still there. After half an hour Lobo started getting more cranky and short-fused than normal, taking his aggression out on passer-bys. Lobo gave up, and with no cigars available he rolled up a rug and smoked it. Jonas found the rest of the Booth gang, who were smuggling cigars, and he and Lobo took them out. Lobo found his urges were gone and won the bet, having finally quit smoking. he coughed up a kazoo that he swallowed during the first encounter with the Booth gang; it was the cause of the wheeze and the dark spot on his x-ray. Having learned nothing, Lobo went back to smoking and prepared to take revenge on Dr. Doc.

(Lobo Goes To Hollywood #1) - Lobo’s friends at Deadbeat’s Bar congratulated him on his good fortune and showed him a magazine announcing the filming of the Lobo movie on Earth. Lobo went to Hollywood to get the royalties he figured he deserved from an unauthorized film. He entered the studio as Sim Jary, the actor portraying Lobo, added his own subtext to the character by making Lobo more effeminate and using a feather-duster to tickle his enemies. After trouncing Jary, Lobo demanded money from producer Rabid Lynch and director Bim Turtle, but was told that filmmaking was an art and not about money. Anyway, there was no money in the budget to pay him. Lynch set a special effects Robocop on Lobo, and then had stuntmen dressed as Terminator, Batman and Judge Dredd attack him. Lobo killed them all, but Lynch was happy he had some great action footage for the movie. Lobo confronted the writer and found his original story captured the Main Man’s personality, but he’d had to make endless rewrites. Lobo demanded the writer take over, but Lynch attacked him with a mechanical King Kong, who went berserk and killed the writer, producer and director before Lobo decapitated him. An aspiring young writer came to Galactic Studios, and Lobo warned him that Hollywood traded in souls, not stories.

(Lobo: Death and Taxes #1-4)- On a contract from the Vegans Lobo went to the Domu VII Worst Western Max Security Penitentiary and Skeet Shoot to extradite a prisoner and took tike to participate in the skeet, which used prisoners as clay pigeons. A bureaucrat error landed his prisoner on the skeet range, and the regal Lord Ovol U’Survey. Lobo killed U’Survey for costing him the bounty, and was forced to leave the planet. With his bike in need of repair and short on creds Lobo had to travel via Transgalactic Transports busline, which he found humiliating. He got a fax from Ramona calling in her favor. She knew Lobo didn’t want his sponsorship of third-world child Raul Cortez made public. Ramona’s former beau, a Lobo wanna-be named Bronc, strung her along and embezzled 6 million creds from her. The Interstellar Revenue Cartel was about to seize her business, so she told him to get the money back from Bronc and kill him. Lobo saw a poster for Bronc and his Mambo Mayhem Revue advertising their performance at the Seven Clusters Quadrant, but he needed transport to get off-planet. Lobo panhandled, promising not to kill anyone he saw if they gave him money, and he got enough creds for a space-jalopy, which predictably crashed on a nearby planet. He found a sylvan paradise inhabited bt men and women in tune with nature, so he started killing them. He was interested in a fortress he found on the planet, an an inhabitant told him it was for Red Flag Day, the time of month when the females became uncontrollably cranky. Lobo was just in time for Red Flag, and was mobbed by a group of women who forced him to give them endless foot-rubs until he escaped and stole a rental ship. He found Bronc, but was ambushed by the I.R.C., who found that Lobo had never paid taxes in his life. Mr. Mortis tried to get Lobo’s financial history using a neural implant, but found Lobo’s mind a blank. Lobo killed Bronc by spitting a loogie at him that pierced his brain, escaped his bondage and took Bronc’s body with him on a stolen I.R.C. ship. Lobo used a neural storage service to retrieve Broc’s memories, finding that he’d hidden Ramona’s money under an alias hidden in Ramona’s own computer system. He returned to Ramona’s, but the I.R.C. decided to change the rules and foreclose on her early, shooting her to death in the process. Lobo tore through the entire I.r.C. armed forces, telling them the only sure things in life for him were death and dead taxmen. Lobo tried to access Bronc’s pilfered money from Ramona’s computer, but he couldn’t spell the password ”conga.” Phineas Dobbs of the Division of Off-World Vehicles, who’d been stalking Lobo, helped the Main Man out, but deducted the fines he owed for thousands of traffic violations. Dobbs was a man of virtue, and was willing to face death to see justicedone, but Lobo was still ready to kill him. Dobbs told Lobo there ewas still several million creds left for him, but he’d only give him the counter-password if Lobo promised to let him leave unharmed. Lobo agreed, but found he couldn’t spell the password “virtue” either.

(Lobo / Demon: Helloween #1) - Lobo needed quick cash to attend a Halloween party on a seedy planet, so he took a job from Tartan’s List, employer unseen, and was sent to meet him on the moon. His boss was the Demon, and although he wanted to kill him, he staid true to his word. Demon told him the legend of the demon Malak-Karu, which was slated to rise from its 100,000 year imprisonment and destroy the Earth. Lobo watched it rise and encircle the Earth, and prepared to fight it, but Demon told him his job was to help it. The guardian created to battle Karu rose from his tomb on the moon, and together Lobo and Demon killed him and kept him from interfering with Karu. Karu watched on in interest, annoying Lobo, and he mouthed off to the demon. Karu swallowed Lobo and Demon, and Demon changed his plan, deciding he’d rather live than see Earth die. Having snatched the guardian’s sword he told Lobo to think thoughts of goodness to power it and destroy Karu. The only thing that inspired good in Lobo was his space-dolphins, so he thought of them, and the sword powered up obliterated Karu. Demon mocked Lobo’s love of fishies and they had an all-out brawl.

(Lobo / Mask #1, 2) - Lobo was on vacation, and an alien invited him to a ’party’ that turned out to be a meeting of Chairman Muzgrof and a consortium of planets destroyed by a hostile powerful entity. They offered Lobo one billion creds to end his vacation early to take care of their problem. Lobo arrived on Earth with visions of the booze, women and private island he was going to buy with his bounty. He encountered Ira Staub, who was in possession of the magical Mask that gave him powers beyond reason. They had a spirited and bloody battle that made the heroes of New York flee the city, and they only paused when they’d mutilated each other to the point that they were only disembodied heads. After regenerating they made peace, with the Mask telling Lobo that Ira wasn’t who he was after, he was looking for the previous possessor of the Mask. In exchange for ten percent of the bounty Mask agreed to help Lobo track him down. They traveled across the galaxy and killed thousands, but Mask kept telling Lobo he was mistaken as soon as they killed their target. Lobo finally realized he was being put on, and used a guilt grenade to convince Ira to remove the Mask. Lobo and the Mask liked the look of each other, so he put it on, becoming more powerful and homicidally insane, if such a thing was possible. Mask/Lobo went through a black hole and to the Interstellar Feel-Good Games where the last mask wearer was last seen.

Lobo was shrunk down and put into a miniaturized ship, along with shipmates Vera Shapely and Goldstar, and given a plan to blast out the blood clot. Lobo annoyed his teammates by pushing himself on Vera and using the ship’s weapons to destroy the already ill Mahatma’s immune system. The Krokodilos wanted the numbers and sent their own miniature ship into Mahatma’s bloodstream, and the extradimensional Liliputans, who gave sScarfe the exploding numbers, sent their own ship, determined to see Scarfe die rather than have the numbers fall into the wrong hands. Lobo destroyed the Krokodilos and rended the Lilliputans apart with his hands and teeth, but only after they found the part of the comatose Mahatma’s brain that held the exploding numbers. Lobo took too long inside the Mahatma, and returned to normal size inside Scarfe’s brain, killing him.
