From Justice League International (80s version) #18

Manga Khan sends a bounty hunter to destroy the League once and for all, one that has never failed him.

But, the bounty hunter in question has never faced this..





Big Barda patched her power wand into the ship's engines, creating a makeshift Boom Tube. The Space team of the JLI used this to get to one of the three possible locations the Cluster, who have captured Barda's husband Mister Miracle, warped to. There's no sign of the Cluster Ship, though, and G'nort's scans indicate they aren't in the sector. Barda is enraged (and is taking it out on the ship), but J'onn assures her that they'll find Scott.




The Cluster ship comes out of warp drive. The JLI got there before them.





Manga drops L-Ron and storms off.





When he was introduced in The Omega Men, Lobo was a standard, serious, villain, kind of a Deathstroke of outer space. He looked like this...






Then, after The Omega Men was cancelled, this book got him. He's been the Lobo we know, ever since.

He receives Manga's call at home, where he's playing with his space dolphins. He loves them. Manga's payment will be a year's supply of space dolphin food. Lobo can't turn that down.

The JLI find their ship under attack.






Lobo gets on board. Manga, in true Evil Overlord fashion, decides there's no need to stick around and see if his plan to kill the JLI succeeds, confident it will work out fine. In his defense, Lobo had never failed him. The Cluster ship leaves for Apokolips.

Lobo rips Rocket Red out of his armor. Barda tells J'onn to stall him while she recovers her mega-rod.







Lobo eventually takes down G'nort and J'onn.







Not wanting to commit murder, she teleported him somewhere far away. She doesn't know where, but he's out of their hair.

On Earth, at the JLI's New York embassy, Blue Beetle wants to deal with their short-handed issue with a membership drive. This gets him yelled at. Guy Gardner, however, is calm. He's been that way, and very nice, and more than a little loopy, since the One Punch from Batman incident.

There's a big BOOM, and Lobo is thrown in, crashing through a wall. He hits Guy on the head on the way.







To be continued...

Interesting how many characterizations (that at the time were sort of considered mischaracterizations) from the Giffen JLI stuck and became standard.

And yet people mock it as too sitcommy.
