Saturn Girl rewards them by officially creating the Legion of Super-Pets as an auxiliary unit of the Legion of Super-Heroes. The animals defeat the Brain-Globes, who flee, and are never heard from again. He is introduced as an animal that will soon become Supergirl’s pet. This is Comet, making his first appearance. When they notice that Krypto is not vulnerable to the Brain-Globes powers, the team decides to form a battle squad of animals, and zip through time, recruiting Streaky the Super-Cat, Beppo the Super-Monkey and a Super-Horse. The Legionnaires then attack Superboy, and are revealed to be under the mental control of the Brain-Globes of Rambat. Mon-El, still a resident of the Zone at this time, warns Superboy. Curt Swan draws the Superboy tale, but alas not the Bizarro World one.Ĭosmic Boy, Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl show up in Smallville and try to trick Superboy into freeing General Zod and Jax-Ur from the Phantom Zone. Jerry Siegel does double-duty on Adventure 293 (Feb 62), writing both the Superboy and Bizarro World features. None of them top this one for sheer insanity.Īdventure 293 – The Legion of Super-Pets, and Bizarro Luthor There are only a couple more Bizarro World stories before the end of the run. Is it funny, frightening, or sad? All three really. Bizarro Krypto then heads to play with Bizarro Luthor, who is trying to make the cube shaped Bizarro World a globe, but Krypto makes the robots he sends out play paddycake with each other instead. So Kltpzyxm brings the real Krypto to Bizarrow World, and the two dogs fight viciously, until Krypto saves his counterpart from blue kryptonite. Bizarro Krypto murders them all, and then sobs because he has no more friends to play with.

The story then becomes about joyously torturing Bizarro Krypto, who runs away from home, seeking love.īizarro Lana Lang treats him too well, but Kltpzyxm sends him against a variety of deadly beasts.

Just having her and JFK in the same panel is enough of a sly wink. Including a baseball player is b0und to make one think of Marilyn’s ex, Joe DiMaggio. Seems like there is a hint of something subversive in this scene.

Jerry Lewis is another, and Mickey Mantle.

It’s Halloween on Bizarro World, and they don masks of terrifying creatures – such as JFK and Marilyn Monroe. But once that disappointment passed, I was able to enjoy the story hugely on its own merits. In truth, I was disappointed the first time I read it, as it appears in the Overstreet Price Guide listing as “Bizarro JFK and Marilyn Monroe,” and I was fully expecting those people to appear in the story. Jerry Siegel hits the gold mine with Adventure 294, with my favourite Bizarro World story. Adventure 294 – JFK, Marilyn Monroe and the best Bizarro World story
