Eric Powell — Bizarro Alive, Alive

Original Art and The Artists

Action Comics # 855, October 2007

Geoff Johns, Richard Donner and Eric Powell creating a multi-part Bizarro story? 

Sign me up.

Spoiler alert: It’s absolutely terrific — fun and affectionate — start to finish. Powell knocks the art out of the park. Many mainstream superhero readers tracked down Powell’s Goon series after they saw this.

You can bet the farm — Kent’s or otherwise — on that.

One final time — Happy Halloween, 2024!

Silver age comic book readers first encountered Bizarro in Superboy #68, and then another version shortly thereafter in Action #254. But sharp eyed comic strip readers may have caught an even earlier appearance in Supes’ daily newspaper strip. Also above — the house ad in Superboy #67, with the alternative costume logo.
