“The Son of Bizarro! Part I”

Superman #140 brings readers a three-part novel promising something wonderfully strange: "The Son of Bizarro!" The cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye lays out the premise with offbeat charm — Bizarro and his wife cradle a baby Bizarro-child while a young Superman-suited boy shows off his strength nearby, and thought bubbles reveal the bittersweet family drama at the heart of the story. Otto Binder and Wayne Boring deliver a tale that turns Superman's world delightfully upside-down, and for just ten cents in 1960, this issue offers a genuinely inventive premise that stands apart from typical superhero fare.
