Superman Escape From Bizarro World

Edition excerpt from Superman: Escape from Bizarro World (2008): He is an imperfect clone of the Man of Steel, every bit his equal in terms of raw might, yet with a brain as twisted as his misshapen body,His name—its name—is Bizarro.After his unwitting rampages leave him hated and feared on Earth, this strange and dangerous creature creates a world of his own: Bizarro World, a planet where chaos and catastrophe creates a world where chaos and catastrophe are celebrated, and ugliness is the ultimate virtue. But its zombie-like inhabitants—who include Bizarro versions of Lois Lane and Lex Luthor—have rejected their misguided maker.Now this twice-outcast monstrosity is out to silence the voices that mock him. To do so, he kidnaps Superman's adoptive father, Pa Kent, forcing him to help—or die trying.To rescue the man who raised him, Superman must brave the horrors of Bizarro World, where he will fight funhouse-mirror versions of some of his greatest foes—and friends.The dynamic writing team of fan favorite comics writerGEOFF JOHNSand famed film directorRICHARD DONNERjoins artist extraordinaireERIC POWELL(THE GOON) for a dramatic saga featuring one of the Man of Steel's oddest foes as well as one of his most personal battles.Also included in this volume are classic tales of Bizarro from the Silver Age through the character's reimagining by comics master John Byrne in the 1980s.
