I would like to toss in LOBO #3 from his ongoing series. I mean, how many characters have actually killed someone on their covers with the logo of their book?

don’t forget when Lobo was defeated by the likes of Dogwelder and the Defenstrator

Good list. Lobo is the Biz to me so I haven’t had much interest in the others. Those are the three iconic Bisley/Lobo covers though for sure. I’m surprised that the cover where he turns into a chick isn’t on it but, it’s all good.
Good list.

Am I the only one who finds that Omega Men cover to be the most hilariously suggestive thing ever? The girl, spread eagle, with a yellow sun between her legs, and Lobo mounted on that enormous bike over her looking like Gene Simmons and Flash Gordon had a baby?

There are no words.

Not to pick nits, but that first cover is by Giffen not MacGuire…
Good choices!

That’s a hilarious mix-up! You see, someone pointed out that the cover for #5 was Maguire, not Kitson. So when I went to make the correction (put Maguire in place of Kitson), I must have put Maguire in place of Giffen, instead! So now instead of ONE cover being wrong, it was TWO covers being wrong!

@DanLarkin, I arranged that cover so Lobo was ripping off Supe’s limbs and beating him about the head and shoulders with them. It’s still like that, bagged and boarded.

My first thought was Lobo’s Back with the penis-elbow. I guess the sequel really shouldn’t have the #1 spot.

Lobo looks like a gay magician on that Legion 89′ cover. Iconic?…uh…sure.

Interesting to see how Lobo’s appearance changes over the years…was he supposed to look like Gene Simmons with the KISS make-up? Cause that’s what I got from his first appearance…

Honestly, I’m kind of surprised that Lobo #1 of the actual ongoing series didn’t show up, if only for it’s memorable take on the foil covers that ran rampant throughout the 90′s. It’s nothing compared to the Bisley covers, but man did it make an impression on me as a kid back in ’93.

I loved L.E.G.I.O.N. too! Wow, 1989 was a good time for comics. Was that really twenty years ago??

Agreeing with other commenters on 52 #17. When I saw today was Lobo covers, that was the second one that popped into my mind (first being the Christmas special).

Depending on how one arranged the colorforms, Man of Steel #30 could be an iconic Lobo cover.

The earliest non-miniseries appearance cover I can think of had him falling and struggling with Superman on it. That might have just been a cover for a collected volume of Lobo stories in the rush of his first series’ popularity.. Anyone remember that? I didn’t buy it..
