Today in Comics History, May 24: Bizarro is not telling you to not have Unhappy Halloween from Bizarro World, or is he? Yes. He am not.
This is an expanded and updated version of a post originally published May 24, 2013.
Today: Happy Bizarro Halloween! from the planet known as Htrae! (Pronounced "hu-tray.")
from "The Halloween Pranks of the Bizarro-Supermen!" in Adventure Comics #294 (DCm March 1962), script by Jerry Siegel, pencils and inks by John Forte
(You know, I'd expect a Bizarro calendar to have more imaginary numbers and symbols, like May the Fish.)
Then, Bizarro No. 1 joins his "buddie-pals" for Halloween celebrations. Say, shouldn't that be "enemy-foes?" Also, instead of join, shouldn't that be "tear apart?" And instead of "then," should it be, "before?" Man, Bizarro World confuses me with its half-assed approach to being completely in reverse.
Ah, the good old days when Bizarro World was off somewhere in the same cosmos as Earth-1. No, according to Multiversity, it's the alternate dimension of Earth-29! Or, at least it will until midnight tonight, when it all gets blown up by Rebirth. BOOM! The New DC Universe...there's no stopping us now...from trying to undo every story since 1935.
Because knowing is half the battle, you can read more about this wacky story in "Bizarro Back Issues: The Existential Dread of Halloween on Bizarro World" by pal Chris Sims on the late, lamented Comics Alliance.
Remember: everything you know about Bizarro World is wrong. Because that am not way Bizarro World ain't.
So, Happy Halloween, guys! Trick's on you!
