Portrait of a Bastich: Simon Bisley and the longevity of Lobo
Legendary artist Simon Bisley to discuss Lobo's impact
If I say the name 'Lobo' to you, a comic reader, then naturally – and if you have a lick of sense at all – you will think about the 1990 series drawn by Simon Bisley.

But just over 30 years after its release and after Bisley’s renown redesign of the character, what exactly is it that makes it hold up?
Popverse sat down with the legendary artist at his table at Fan Expo San Francisco to discuss the longevity of Lobo and the rebellious space in which none of his other variations can seem to occupy.
