Bizarro Comics HC

BIZARRO COMICS HC - Includes the Eisner Award-winning short story Letitia Lerner, Superman's Babysitter by Kyle Baker and Liz Glass. The bizarreness begins in a bookend story written by Chris Duffy and illustrated by Stephen DeStefano, where the mischievous imp from the 5th Dimension, Mr. Mxyzptlk, is in over his head. The 5th Dimension is threatened by a pair of aliens who thrive on competition, and they force Mxy to pick one champion to represent himself, so the imp seeks out the greatest hero he knows: Superman. Unfortunately he isn't available, and the imp must settle on Bizarro whose logic is so screwed up that he has no idea what a hero is. For inspiration, Mxyzptlk shows Superman's imperfect duplicate a bunch of super-hero comics. But Bizarro doesn't like what he sees, and decides to make his own. These comics, starring numerous super-heroes of the DCU, fill out the bulk of this book, featuring work from the best of the independent and small press comics scene.
