Where it came from
Published by DC Comics in March 1985, The Omega Men #12 is widely regarded by comic historians as a landmark issue within the series. It was written by Todd Klein and illustrated by Keith Giffen, representing the mid-point of the title's run during the mid-1980s. The series was designed to explore the complex political and interstellar conflicts of the Vega system, a setting established by Steve Englehart years prior.
This specific issue is most notable for being the first appearance of the character Lobo, who was created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen. Designed as a satirical take on the gritty, hyper-violent anti-heroes becoming popular in comics at the time, Lobo was initially intended to be a villainous mercenary. The character's reception was initially modest, but he eventually evolved into a cult-favorite icon of DC's cosmic landscape, far exceeding his creators' original design goals for the character.
