Keith Giffen

Keith Ian Giffen was an American comic book illustrator and writer. He is possibly best-known for his long runs illustrating, and later writing the Legion of Super-Heroes title in the 1980s and 1990s. He also created the alien mercenary character Lobo (with Roger Slifer), and the irreverent "want-to-be" hero, Ambush Bug.

That approach has brought him both criticism and admiration, as perhaps best illustrated by the mixed (although commercially successful) response to his
