Product Info Reviews

Description:

Me hate Bizarro Superman. Him worst idea DC comics ever have. Him stupid! Talk funny! Him live by Bizarro code:
  • Us do opposite of all Earthly things!
  • Us hate beauty!
  • Us love ugliness!
  • Is big crime to make anything perfect on BIZARRO WORLD!
Superman am strong, handsome, and morally spotless--boring! But Bizarro Superman am ugly, stupid, and unethical. Him wonderful! Me hate him!

From his very first appearance in the 1950s Superman newspaper strip to the episode of Seinfeld devoted to him, Bizarro has flown (backwards and upside down) into comic fans' hearts. Tales of the Bizarro World is a purist's delight, collecting 15 full-length stories of Bizarro and friends (Bizarro Lois, Stuporwoman, Bizarro Krypto, and hordes of copies of Bizarro Number 1). It's full of great episodes like "Bizarro's Secret Identity" (he's a reporter at the Daily Htrae--"Earth" spelled backwards) and "Bizarro Goes Sane!"

What's most pleasing, and most irritating, about the whole Bizarro thing is that sometimes Bizarro World is opposite Earth, and sometimes it's just... well, bizarre. Writer Jerry Siegel and artists John Fort, Wayne Boring, and Curt Swan were clearly having fun when they created Bizarro, and fans can't get enough of the weirdest guy ever to wear a red cape.

Don't buy Tales of the Bizarro World! It stupid comic. It not make you laugh! --Bizarro Therese Littleton
