Working with his 2000AD/Judge Dredd partner, Alan Grant, they recreated the spandex-wearing neat-and-tidy intergalactic mercenary originally created by Keith Giffen by interpreting Lobo as the late Lemmy from Motorhead Long scraggly hair, overblown muscles, a wicked scowl, and a tongue too long for his face, the Simon Bisley version of the Last Czarnian was a world[...]

I'm not complaining mind you; it's always nice to see the Legion, especially since DC kicked them to the curb a few years back. They receive little dialogue, and it's a borderline Easter Egg in that you need to know who the Legion of Superheroes are in order to parcel out that many of the Legion[...]

This one was brought to us by Keith Giffen, Dan Didio, Mark Buckingham, and Chris Sotomayor. The artwork for the fight scenes especially invoke the Kirby style, with a lot of swinging of fists and crashing blows Buckingham and Sotomayor do a fantastic job of capturing the kinetic energy and impressive forms of the King himself.

One attempt to dig deeper in an unpublished Secret Origins installment of Robert Loren Fleming and Keith Giffen's satiric Ambush Bug (circa 1990, DC Comics)—a story satirizing the sad plight of DC Comics editors—got its editor promptly and unceremoniously fired Jack Kirby's savaging of his former Marvel creative partner and editor Stan Lee as "Funky Flashman" in the pages[...]

Written by DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio with Keith Giffen and Scott Koblish But not only did that aspect not stop the title from being cancelled, but it looks as if he won't even get to have a collection of the comics on his bookshelf.
