Product Description:
Me hate Bizarro Superman. Him worst idea DC comics ever have. Himstupid! 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 Supermanam ugly, stupid, and unethical. Him wonderful! Me hate him!From his very first appearance in the 1950s Superman newspaper strip to theepisode of Seinfeld devoted to him, Bizarro has flown (backwards andupside down) into comic fans' hearts. Tales of the Bizarro World is apurist's delight, collecting 15 full-length stories of Bizarro and friends(Bizarro Lois, Stuporwoman, Bizarro Krypto, and hordes of copies of BizarroNumber 1). It's full of great episodes like "Bizarro's Secret Identity" (he's areporter at the Daily Htrae--"Earth" spelled backwards) and "Bizarro GoesSane!"What's most pleasing, and most irritating, about the whole Bizarro thing is thatsometimes Bizarro World is opposite Earth, and sometimes it's just... well,bizarre. Writer Jerry Siegel and artists John Fort, Wayne Boring, and Curt Swanwere clearly having fun when they created Bizarro, and fans can't get enough ofthe weirdest guy ever to wear a red cape. Don't buy Tales of the Bizarro World! It stupid comic. It not make youlaugh! --Bizarro Therese Littleton

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

I always enjoyed reading the Bizarro Tales when I was a kid. They were funny to read, because they did everything backwards on their planet. If you are a Superman fan, I think you will enjoy these stories which are a part of the Superman universe.

SUPERMAN: TALES OF THE BIZARRO WORLD is a collection of stories that ran as backup features in Adventure Comics #285 - 299 (1961 - 1962). They follow the adventures of Bizarro #1 and his family on the cube-shaped planet Bizarro World (Htrae), which is populated by imperfect duplicates of Superman, Lois Lane, and other familiar supporting characters from the Superman titles. Xaime Hernandez supplies a cover that is an excellent tribute to Action Comics #1.
Fittingly, the humorous introduction ... Read More

This is subversive, dangerous, anarchic, wonderful, gut-wrenchingly funny stuff. These comics first appeared in Adventure Comics in the early 60s. They're more on-target now than they were then. (It probably seemed silly in 1963 when a dieting Bizarro-Lois ordered a steak.)
See Bizarro become a trial lawyer, direct a horror film, and dress up as President Kennedy for Halloween. There's not a clunker in this book. Don't miss it.

This book am so awful. Sometime me read and feel very mad at universe. Me read to me 4 year old son. Most comics am not violent enough for he. This am 'cause made long time ago when comics having more blood. Now we talk bizarro all over house. Make us sad sad sad.

You know, as much as I appreciate the plethora of "Bizarro" reviews for this book, I feel there should be at least ONE straight review for people who aren't in on the joke. So in case you don't quite get it -- Bizarro is Superman's imperfect duplicate. Everything he does is the opposite of Superman. That's pretty much the gist of it.
This book collects the "Tales From Bizarro World" series from the old Adventure Comics title -- stories about a whole planet of Bizarros, including Bizarro-Lois Lane, ... Read More
