'90 comes the wild, unchained, devil-may-care character you love to hate in his first solo mini-series. And if you thought he was out of control before, wait until you see what happens here. You see, Lobo is the last survivor of his race...an entire civilization that he personally annihilated just because he wanted to be unique in the universe. But Lobo seems to have missed one, and now that survivor's gone and written an unauthorized biography of Lobo, which doesn't make our maniac very happy. But what's really got Lobo miffed is that he's accepted a contract from L.E.G.I.O.N. to escort his biographer across the universe to their headquarters - delivered alive! Of course, Lobo manages to make a few enemies along the way, complicating his mission as these factions embark on a wild chase across the cosmos to see who will get to Lobo first.

Mac Raboy: Master of the Comics HC (2019 TwoMorrows) 1-1ST VF- 7.5

View items consigned by vamp driver: all items, auctions only

1st printing.

Written by Roger Hill. Art and cover by Mac Raboy. Edited by Jon B. Cooke.

Beginning with his WPA etchings during the 1930s, Mac Raboy struggled to survive the Great Depression and eventually found his way into the comic book sweatshops of America. In that world of four-color panels, he perfected his art style on such creations as Dr. Voodoo, Zoro, The Mystery Man, Bulletman, Spy Smasher, Green Lama and his crowning achievement, Captain Marvel Jr. Raboy went on to illustrate the Flash Gordon Sunday newspaper strip, and left behind a legacy of meticulous perfection.

Through extensive research and interviews with son David Raboy, and assistants who worked with the artist during the Golden Age of Comics, author Roger Hill brings Mac Raboy, the man and the artist, into focus for historians to savor and enjoy.

This full-color hardcover includes never-before-seen photos, a wealth of rare and unpublished artwork, and the first definitive biography of a true Master of the Comics!

Hardcover, 160 pages, full color.

Cover price $39.95.
