While "bizarre" may be accurate, it's far too kind and pc. That crap is downright hideous.

I really like it. I find it weird, ugly and fascinatingly beautiful.

Anyway, I just wanted to share one of my favorites from the Bizarro collection - Kyle Baker's story "Letitia Lerner, Superman's Babysitter"

It's really hilarious. I didn't want to post 10 scans though so here's a link to it.

Hmm Michael. I tried it and it works. Does it not work for anybody else?

Millionaire�s mandate was to give his "indie" take on the character for the BIZARRO COMICS anthology. I think he�s a helluva an artist.

If DC should be commissoning and publishing this material is another question.

Think of Disney sponsoring the Air Pirates.

While we are at it, can anyone show the EDDIE CAMPBELL Batman?

I wonder how that turned out...

There should be a redesign Bat-Man thread.

Tony Millionaire's stuff on that "Batman" piece there makes nostalgic for
Dick Calkins' Buck Rogers...

Goddamn. That was TM Batman was a mess. But funny!

The KB link doesn't work for me either. Too bad, because I like Baker's work! Can you give it a jig?

Thanks Derek!

Hands up everyone who remembers DC rejecting Moebius' Batman story as
being too "off model". . . .
