Bizarro Comics

In 2001, DC Comics released a single, oversized issue of Bizarro Comics, a playful anthology that turned its iconic heroes—Green Lantern, Aquaman, Hawkman, The Atom, and The Flash—into delightfully off-kilter versions of themselves. Edited by Chris Duffy, the collection brought together an eclectic roster of indie and alternative talent, including Bob Fingerman, Gilbert Hernandez, and Gregory Benton, for a series of short, humorous stories that reveled in absurdity and subversion. Though brief, this one-shot stands as a charming, experimental detour in DC’s publishing history, celebrating the fun of bending its universe out of shape.
