Comment(s):

This issue had three covers all of which were present on all copies of the book. Inside the front cover there was a contents page with a Killer Penguin drawing by Simon Bisley. The two other covers were part of the "Fun and Games with the Main Man" feature where Part 1: "Making Shadow Pictures, the Lobo Way" was the second cover drawn by Simon Bisley, Part 3: "Lobo's Totally Mental Word Puzzle" was the inside of cover 2, Part 3: "How to Fish, the Lobo Way" is the third cover for the book also drawn by Simon Bisley, and Part 4: "Connect the Dots featuring Lobo and friend" was the inside of cover 3 which invited you to connect the dots to unravel the Main Man's secret message.

Solicitation:

Everybody's favorite bad boy of comics returns! This time, Lobo's taken a job as a skip-tracer, courtesy of his old friend Ramona, the skip-tracing hairdresser who's set him on the trail of his bounty, Loo. That's Loo, the self-proclaimed “baddest bastich in the galaxy”...who may just be a match for Lobo himself. Yeah, right! LOBO'S BACK is a pulse-pounding, action-packed bonanza of violence, hilarity and more violence!
