In "The Bride of Bizarro!", Bizarro’s latest scheme takes a bizarre turn when he tries to keep Superman from revealing that a duplicate—New Bizarro—has proposed to Lois Lane. With a kryptonite meteorite in hand, the chaos escalates as the two versions of Bizarro clash, forcing Superman to intervene. Otto Binder’s clever script and Al Plastino’s expressive art bring the absurdity to life, while Curt Swan’s cover captures the moment with classic flair.

In "The Bride of Bizarro!" from Action Comics #255, Bizarro's twisted courtship takes a surreal turn when a duplicate he calls New Bizarro attempts to win Lois Lane’s affection—only to be thwarted by the real Superman, who uses a kryptonite meteorite to keep the truth hidden. As the two Bizarros clash in a bizarre battle of identities, Bizarro ultimately seeks Superman’s help to end the deception, only to find himself still smitten. Lois, ever the clever one, then takes matters into her own hands with a surprising twist that leaves Bizarro with a very unusual bride.
