Lobo always did have a heavy metal edge, and now the character's got a writer to prove it.
According to ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian, he's writing a two-issue Lobo comic for DC that is being drawn by artist Sam Kieth for release this fall.
"I have a bit of that going on with the comic book character Lobo. I find it much easier to write comic books than lyrics, actually, because it's a natural dialogue," Ian said. "Writing song lyrics is not natural, but over the years, I know what I need to know to get it done. I find it quite easy to capture a character and use my own personality and humor."Lobo was created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen in 1983, becoming one of DC's most popular comic characters during the 1990s, even appearing in the cartoon television shows Justice League and Superman: The Animated Series. The gritty-looking character, who rides on a space cycle, has extraordinary strength and an accelerated healing factor. But his real appeal often lies within the character's humorous self-centered attitude and zest for mindless violence.
