Who is Bizarro-Perry White?

An imperfect duplicate of Daily Planet editor Perry White, Bizarro-Perry White inhabits the cube-shaped Bizarro World, where everything is the backwards opposite of Earth's norms — making him a comically inverted version of the famously gruff, demanding newsman.

A delightfully offbeat corner of the Silver Age DC universe, Bizarro-Perry White stepped onto the scene in 1961, dreamed up by the legendary Jerry Siegel and Curt Swan as part of comics' most gloriously backwards society. Sharing pages with Superman, Clark Kent, Bizarro, and Bizarro-Jimmy Olsen across Action Comics, Superman, and Adventure Comics, this imperfect duplicate of the Daily Planet's gruff editor-in-chief embodies everything wonderfully strange about the Bizarro World concept. Rare in the catalog with just nine appearances spanning an impressive 46 years, Bizarro-Perry White is the kind of cult curio that reminds collectors how wildly imaginative and genuinely fun the Silver Age could be — a character worth seeking out for anyone who loves DC's more eccentric, world-building flourishes.
