In "The Boy Who Could See in the Dark!", Supergirl finds herself in over her head when she’s tasked with watching baby Buster—only to panic when her heat vision accidentally blasts her chemistry homework, sparking a wild fear that she’s turned the infant into a Bizarro. With Superman’s help and a trip to the Fortress of Solitude, the duo enlists two of Superman’s robots to adopt the young Bizarro Jr., but even their best efforts can’t stop the boy from remembering his true origins. Otto Binder’s story, illustrated with classic precision by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye, and graced with Curt Swan’s iconic cover art, delivers a heartfelt mix of humor and heart, all wrapped in the familiar warmth of 1967’s DC adventure.
