- Summary:
- "Us do opposite of all Earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness!" This is the code of the Bizarros -- the utterly strange, very popular characters who first appeared in the 1950s alongside the Man of Steel. The weird but funny adventures of these imperfect duplicates of Superman and his supporting cast were written by Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel and are collected here for the first time!
