Owner's Description

Origin and 1st appearance of Bizarro. Otto Binder story. George Papp art. Curt Swan and Stan Kaye cover. A working man's hero and aiming to please, whether by example or by any means necessary, as this issue shows a Topsy Turvy character where in is a description of an upside downturn a phrase, "That's the Tops!" A meaning of both some excellence and the mainstream, as Bizarro finds himself at work in the world and with his essential back to it all while trying his best to pull it up by the blue-collar bootstraps! With his similar skin in the game and color trying to pass himself off not as a copy, but instead the real deal, the better choice, and the "tops" of the rungs in any ladder, only to then ponder his own established well-being as a character with morals and morale. Bizarro's natural efficiency is in this world unnatural, which is too off brand to be seen the same as, "a supernatural Superboy!"

AS2 A bit of scattershot play here with a modern raw I own and picked up for cheap. First appearance of King Shark to "show" what I grew up with, and this newer Superboy would, too, deal with some Bizarro circumstances but by mostly being a 90's cliche for DC!

Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass to the movie before released publicly of, "Working Man!" Jason Statham does it up right again and again showing the aptitude necessary for everyday living, for a friend is a friend forever when the cards fall down to calling upon Him who is able to save without partiality. Issue #100 as well showing the past generations are superhero's as well and rightly called, no two ways about it!

Grader Notes:
readers crease front cover;
multiple crease right center of cover;
multiple stain cover;
tape top of spine.
